Title:
  Lyx chokes on all bibtex bibliography insertions

Status in lyx package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lyx

  I found after inserting a bibliography file into an IEEE template,
  that my document was unable to export to PDF any longer.

  I discovered that the same error existed regardless of the actual
  bibliography entry. My edits have all been done through the LyX menus,
  and in particular the edit which breaks the document export is
  inserted through Insert=>List/Doc=>BibTex Bibliography

  I have tried removing each entry from my bibliography file in turn to
  see what the problem was. I ended up with an empty bibliography file.
  I tried using the 'test' bibliography file provided with LyX. They all
  lead to the same error.

  TeX reports...

  LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
  LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
  TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size=1500000].

  ...against apparently this line according to the two error reports...

   \begin{thebibliography}{}
                               
  Try typing  <return>  to proceed.
  If that doesn't work, type  X <return>  to quit.

   \begin{thebibliography}{}
                               
  If you really absolutely need more capacity,
  you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.
