Yeah, that's the same thing I'm seeing; the DTD seems to indicate that  
bib_vol is the field for it, so it's strange that it's empty.

So it looks like the second line has an issue of (10), but it's  
possibly empty for the others (40 is probably volume, 7 could be  
either).

I'll probably just ignore it for the time being, since that field  
seems to have an ambiguous definition.
