I have reduced the bib and tex files to the minimum.  The error is
still reproducible and occurs the same way using TeXShop,
Aquamacs+AucTeX, or even command line.

1. run latex -> pdf created with correct references and hyperlinks,
however citation is ()

2. run bibtex -> no error

3. run latex -> should still compile

4. run latex -> fails with always same error message.  Also the
auxiliary files are now zero size.

Hope it helps.

Enrico

@article{Steele:1999aa,
	Abstract = {Many students with learning difficulties have trouble solving mathematical word problems. The authors designed 
DISCOVER, an intelligent tutoring system, to teach students this task with less failure and frustration. The system, 
which incorporates a direct teaching model, is comprised of 11 independent computer programs, some using expert 
systems technology. This article includes a review of literature on word problems instruction, an explanation of 
intelligent tutoring systems, and a description of DISCOVER. 
    Students of all ability levels often encounter frustration and failure when mathematical word problems are assigned. 
Research has shown that students with learning problems experience low success rates even with very basic word 
problems (Parmer, Cauley, & Frazita, 1996). As a result of these failure experiences, it is critical to determine more 
appropriate methods for teaching word problems (Babbitt & Miller, 1996). Perhaps word problems are difficult 
because so many skills are required to solve them. Although the task of solving word problems is complex, there are 
strategies that have been proven effective if used appropriately and practiced systematically. The purpose of this article 
is to discuss the nature and difficulty of word problem instruction, explain the background of intelligent tutoring 
systems (ITS), and then to describe an ITS which could be used to help students with learning difficulties 
experience less stress and frustration when solving word problems. The system uses direct instructional approaches 
and teaches the skills in a systematic, sequential manner. The authors will also discuss implications for subsequent 
research and development.
