Subject: [MiKTeX] Runaway argument when using bibentry,natbib and
acmtrans.bst

Greetings!

I am having a vexing problem with the combination of two LaTeX
packages (natbib & bibentry) and an ACM-provided BibTeX style file
(http://www.acm.org/publications/latex_style/acmtrans.bst). I am using
MikTeX 2.8. I'm glad to provide more information, or if there is a
better place for me to ask this let me know.

I want to produce an annotated bibliography, with references in-line
with my text. I'd rather not put all my text in the @annotation field
in the .bib file. Therefore, I want to use the bibentry
package.However, every attempt to use these three items together gives
me the same error:

Runaway argument?
{1994}\relax \BR@bibitem {Launchbury94Lazy}\else \BR@bibitem [\protect
\ETC.
! Paragraph ended before \citeauthoryear was complete.
<to be read again>
                   \par
l.10

It really makes no sense to me what is going on here. Any help is
appreciated. Here is the "\listfiles" output:

  Package: natbib 2009/07/16 8.31 (PWD, AO)
  Package: bibentry 2007/10/30 1.5 (PWD)

The following 2 files demonstrate the problem. First, b.tex:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage{bibentry}
\listfiles
\begin{document}
\bibliographystyle{acmtrans}
\nobibliography{b}

\bibentry{Launchbury94Lazy}

\end{document}

And b.bib:

@inproceedings{Launchbury94Lazy,
 author = {Launchbury, John and Peyton Jones, Simon L.},
 title = {Lazy functional state threads},
 booktitle = {PLDI '94: Proceedings of the ACM SIGPLAN 1994 conference
on Programming language design and implementation},
 year = {1994},
 isbn = {0-89791-662-X},
 pages = {24--35},
 location = {Orlando, Florida, United States},
 doi = {http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/178243.178246},
 publisher = {ACM},
 address = {New York, NY, USA},
 }

Runnning latex; bibtex; latex; latex will show the problem.  Thanks in
advance for any help.

Justin
