I recently updated to Version 1.3.18 (1202)
After updating, I have been receiving warning messages for hundreds of entries:
" possible runaway string started at line xx"
I note that this issue was discussed previously:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02985.html
but it doesn't seem that a solution was offered.
Thanks!

I've copied an entry below that causes the problem:
@article{bertrand2004msw,
Abstract = {Most papers that employ Differences-in-Differences estimation
(DD) use many years of data and focus on serially correlated outcomes but
ignore that the resulting standard errors are inconsistent. To illustrate the
severity of this issue, we randomly generate placebo laws in state-level data
on female wages from the Current Population Survey. For each law, we use OLS to
compute the DD estimate of its {\"}effect{\"} as well as the standard error of
this estimate. These conventional DD standard errors severely understate the
standard deviation of the estimators: we find an {\"}effect{\"} significant at
the 5 percent level for up to 45 percent of the placebo interventions. We use
Monte Carlo simulations to investigate how well existing methods help solve
this problem. Econometric corrections that place a specific parametric form on
the time-series process do not perform well. Bootstrap (taking into account the
autocorrelation of the data)
works well when the number of states is large enough. Two corrections based on
asymptotic approximation of the variance-covariance matrix work well for
moderate numbers of states and one correction that collapses the time series
information into a {\"}pre{\"}- and {\"}post{\"}-period and explicitly takes
into account the effective sample size works well even for small numbers of
states.},
