I managed to locate Niels' problem.  Niels look at line 2661, which  
looks like:

@article{Hein:1994fk,
	Annote = {Alternative Quellenangabe (urspr{\"u}ngliche),
	@inproceedings{Hein:1998},
	Address = {New York and London},
     Author = {Hein, Laura E.},
...


The Annote field opens up, and its end is not quite clear as it  
essentially contains a whole other entry. In particular it is that @  
in inproceedings that throws the system off. Not sure what the best  
way to deal with it it however. Niels, for now if you just remove  
that @ from @inproceedings there, that should do it.

Why is all that stuff in the Annote field? Was that on purpose, or a  
mistake?
