Hi,

this is a little weird. I run the current svn version both on FreeBSD 
and on Debian. On both systems, your test file converts to:

markus at wallaby:~/workspace/refdb$ bib2ris < bib2ristest.bib

TY  - JOUR
ID  - entry
AU  - Smith,John
JF  - JACM
SP  - 1
EP  - 2
PY  - 2006///
TI  - Awesome Title
ER  -

which looks alright to me. There were no recent changes to the bib2ris 
code, so your version should be up-to-date. What OS do you run? 
Ports/packages or compiled from sources? What version of the btparse 
library? Do you have any entries in your global or personal bib2risrc 
files?

regards,
Markus
