Well,
I am out of my depth when it comes to Windows, but the problem seems
to be related to line 29 of your bbl file. So it is a reference that
gives you problems, most likely. And my guess is that it is the
reference with key Jha2009 (your second one). What does it look like?
Does it contain any strange char? Perhaps it is malformed (missing
braces, etc)? Can you post it (not the whole bib file, just that ref)?
Cheers,
Stefano
