Hi all (esp. Taco ;-),
here's a very fundamental question about the bib-module: my main bib

The same file compiles without errors in mkiv. So I'm curious: Is it
possible that the bib file is just too large for mkii? Or is it more
probable that there's some error in it such as missing crossref etc?
Does anyone have experience with large bib files and the bib module?
you can increase the hash size in texmf.cnf ... if so, then also remake
the format
in mkiv we need less hash space if only because it got rid of encodings
and regimes

Remarkable that mkiv is already more efficient wrt hash space!

Any rule of thumb for just how big is too big? Depends on your texmf.cnf. IIRC, I have twenty or so csnames per entry, and the baseline for mkii is a bit over 40.000 csnames, so you need about 40.000 + 20 * (numberofentries) And what do people do in cases like this? One of the wonderful Increase hash_extra, as Hans said. There is (virtuallly) no limit to that.
