I encounter memory limit issue with BibTeX similar to the ones reported

Who also add additional tips to deal with the problematic:

"(...) Some versions of BibTEX have been patched to allow for the memory
limits to be changed via the contents of a “bibtexmemory.config” file
(without having to recompile), but, unfortunately, such systems don’t seem
to be very common.
There is also a version of BibTEX with a much larger capacity. “8-bit”
BibTEX was written by Niel Kempson and Alejandro Aguilar-Sierra [20]. On
many systems with 8-bit BibTEX (MiKTEX), the executable is called
bibtex8.7"
Maybe you can Google for these two options :-?
I did one of the other options:
just improve my BibTeX BST code to workaround the encountered limitation.
Before my email I was not familiar with BibTeX Style hacks,
and it sounded obscure: I am getting familiar with it.
(Amazingly it remind me the old good time of the HP calculators :-).)
My hope was to set up some parameters in /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
as it can be done for the different variant of tex, for metapost, ...
I know that memory limits for tex and its derived, for metapost can be
can be configured in the /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf configuration file: can we
do something similar for bibtex ?
There is also a program named "biber" aimed to solve that memory
limitations, maybe you can give it a wirl:
biber comes with biblatex: I want to stay with bibtex to avoid endless issue.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/files/
And while searching for this program, I've found a "request for package"
bug report in Debian BTS:
