First: this problem is caused by the fact that year
citations are by default uncompressed. if year compression
is turned on, then different code is used, and the problem
never happens.

I've made a change to the representation of authors (there is
now one or two extra sets of braces around each author), and
this causes the crash. It turns out to be a problem with the
core macro \addtocommalist, that I don't know how to fix.

Minimal demonstration of problem/bug:

   \def\acommalist{}
   \addtocommalist{{stuff with braces}}\acommalist


Q for Hans: The way my data representation is written now, I
need to be able to add the following three types of elements
as well as stuff without braces:

   {author}               % stands for one author
   {authora},{authorb}    % stands for two authors
   {authora},{}           % stands for author et. al.

is that doable eventually, or should I implement another
presentation altogether?

Cheers, Taco
