Using bibparse is nice, it eliminates some complications.
OK, here is my current test, on the bib file above.
install debian compile 0.66 into /usr
Install 0.66 from source into /usr/local.
run bibparse, no crash.
mv /usr/local/lib/libbtparse.so out of the way, so
ldd /usr/local/bin/bibparse reports
libbtparse.so => /usr/lib/libbtparse.so
i.e. linked to the debian version.
Now bibparse crashes on that file again with a buffer overflow, after
printing
