However, I noticed that if you cite more than two items like
\cite[bla1,bla2,bla3,bla4], only the first two are put in the text [1-2],
even though all are in the bibliography (that is with numbered refs
and compression on).
I tracked that down to a bug in a macro called
\docompareitems in Syst-ext. The last line should read
<color><param>0100,0100,0100</param>\advance\scratchcounter \plusone}
instead of
\advance\scratchcounter \minusone}
otherwise an already sorted list will be reduced to the first two
elements .
