I found a problem in chicago.bst:

With the following entry in my bib file 

@Article{dan-ea-82,
  OPTcrossref =  "",
  OPTkey = 	 "",
  author = 	 "Dansgaard, W. and Clausen, H. B. and Gundestrup, N.
		  and Hammer, C. U. and Johnson, S. F. and
		  Kristinsdottir, P. M. and Reeh, N.",
  title = 	 "A new {G}reenland deep ice core",
  journal = 	 SC,
  year = 	 "1982",
  volume = 	 "218",
  OPTnumber = 	 "",
  pages = 	 "1273--1277",
  OPTmonth = 	 "",
  OPTnote = 	 "",
  OPTannote = 	 ""
}


I get this error message from BibTeX:

Warning--you've exceeded 100, the entry-string-size, for entry dan-ea-82
while executing--line 1541 of file chicago.bst
*Please notify the bibstyle designer*


This is the \bibitem produced for this entry:

\bibitem[\protect\citeauthoryear{Dansgaard, Clausen, Gundestrup, Hammer,
  Johnson, Kristinsdottir, and Reeh}{D]{dan-ea-82}
Dansgaard, W., H.~B. Clausen, N.~Gundestrup, C.~U. Hammer, S.~F. Johnson, P.~M.
  Kristinsdottir, and N.~Reeh (1982).
\newblock A new {G}reenland deep ice core.
\newblock {\em Science\/} {\em 218}, 1273--1277.


Obviously, it doesn't like author lists longer than 100 characters.

I couldn't figure out how to fix it (shortening the author list is NOT
an option).


I also couldn't figure out, who is taking care of this style no.
Several authors are mentioned for previous styles and/or bug fixes.


Thanks for your help,

Fritz
