Hi Taco,

I ran into the following problems:

1. see attached files. Three bib entries with different authors, but the resulting references are the same for two of them (!). Appearantly, without sorting the bib entries, the extra label numbering does not work correctly. Changing \setupbibtex to "sort=short" fixes the issue (appending "a" and "b") as well does changing "ITERATE {presort.none}" to "ITERATE {presort.clabel}" in cont-no.bst. But is this a once-and-for-all fix?

2. see attached files. In \setuppublications, numbering is given as "short", but the resulting list of references is only as good as "yes" - I only get the numbers, not the short references in the list. Hmmm, what's the cause for this? Any ideas? Or is it My Fault(TM)?

3. In general: If I'd use bib handwriting \{start,stop}publication without bibltx, would I have to care about the uniqueness of the "short" document names (the "s=" option to \startpublication)? Really? Considering hundreds of possible bibliography entries, this would double the effort: Not only the key (the "k=" option) but also the short name must be unique for correct references.

4. Sometimes, the build process ("texexec --pdf test") breaks after changing some text in the bibliography. Appearantly, sometimes the .bbl file is not updated. removing the .bbl file fixes the build. No recipy available, sorry.

Thanks,
- Matthias
