This appears to be a problem with the character encoding stuff in refdb, although it does not seem to be related to your problem. I'll have to look into this anyway. > Yes, after converting to UTF-8 it is stopping at exactly the same place > when I run it in debugging mode. > Could you please send me a full refdbd log (loglevel 7) showing the addref command as well as your runbib attempt? I'd like to wade through, maybe there's some indication of a failure way before refdbd gives in. If that doesn't enlighten me, the fastest way to get further will be to debug it on your box. Is there a chance that I could get remote access to your computer? All I'd need is a regular user account accessible through ssh and non-privileged access to the refdb database and to a test reference database. I can run these test using a different refdbd port so this would not interfere with your work in any way. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka [email protected] (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
