I've been having problems with refer which I hope someone can help me with.
One chapter of my thesis makes references to about 45 papers. When I use
the following command line, I get a "bus error -- core dumped" message (running
under BSD4.2):-

	refer -a -s -l -p mybiblio chapter2 > chapter2.rf

However, when I leave out the -s (sort bibliography option) or use numbered
references instead of labels, things appear to work ok. However, I really want
to sort labelled references (university thesis regulations) -- can anyone
suggest how to resolve this problem?

					thanks -- Jon.
