Running bibtex with six databases, I've received this message with the 
bibtex failling.

	Sorry, you've exceeded BibTeX's pool size 60000

Now pool size relates to the maximum number of characters in strings. At this
point I'm a bit confused. In my document there is about 500 citations
(less than the max_cites). Does this pool size relate to the string size 
for the complete citation it generates in the .bbl file. If this is the
case then I can probably get around this problem by increasing the pool size
and recompling bibtex. Or is the problem some thing totally different. 
Or I am observing a symptom of a missed , or {} in my .bib files.
An explanation or help will be most appreciated.
Many thanks in anticipation.
