Hi Fabian,

Glad to see someone testing this :)

The errors due to pressing 'f' and 'a' are a symptom of the problem that
__OUTLINE__ does not show any bibtex items, which is what the real
problem is. Tex_BibFile is actually a python variable which should be
created via Tex_StartCiteCompletion(). However, it doesn't seem to be.
If its not, in subsequent calls, all hell will break loose.

If you are interested in helping debug this:

1. Which release of latex-suite are you using? If you are not using the
   latest release, please update.

2. What is the value of:
    1. g:Tex_UsePython
    2. g:Tex_UseCiteCompletionVer2

3. When you open up the latex file, what happens when you type:
    :echo Tex_FindBibFiles()
   This should be a newline seperated list of all the bibtex files found
   in the main file. If this is not working, its a source of the error.

4. What happens if you go to the ~/.vim/ftplugin/latex-suite directory
   and type:
    $python bibtools.py /path/to/bibtex/file
   You should get a semi-formatted list of all the bibtex entries in the
   given file. I'd like to know any errors this might generate.


Answers to these questions will help me greatly in debugging what might
be going wrong.
