It was the "long"-dash (the one in LaTeX coded as '--'), which caused this 
problem. But as well some other non-standard symbols like bevelled quotation 
marks and maybe many more.
So if you copy/paste from a HTML document (e.g. abstracts of online databases) 
you have to screen the text for this non-standard characters.

Thanks for the help. Now I know what I have to look for.

Cheers, Thies
