If you use lists of authors' names for BIB reference keys, the references
won't dump properly.  The trouble lies in how the bib macros handle the
reference string, \*([F.  It's passed to .IP without being quoted, which
bombs when [F contains more than one word.

The fix is to quote the first argument to .IP in the bib macro files in
/usr/lib/bmac.  Also in your personal style files if you use any.  (Mine
go to great lengths to put the commas inside the quote marks!)
