Disappearing references

If you are using BibTeX, a Table of Contents, and figures, sometimes your references will disappear in the output, to be replaced with '???' or similar. The problem (for me anyway) is that LyX adds a lot of bloat to the list-of-figures lines in the .aux file, causing BibTeX to barf with a "Sorry -- buffer exceeded" error. A cheesy-but-effective workaround is to Export your files as LaTeX, then paste the caption back in as Evil Red Text.

References with spaces in title

LyX doesn't seem to like reference tags with spaces (as of 1.4.3). This is solved by removing the spaces (say replacing with underscores) in the BibTeX file.
