I think no bug!
from my point of view not a correct citation form:
should be
NOTE = {{Special Issue: } ProcOfThe {Eighth International
Conference of Computing and Information (ICCI'96)}},
I had not too much experience with bibtex, so I can't really say why it
should not be. anyway, this works.
it's another question why the parser struggles in fact of the
#-characters.
