Running the usual pdflatex-bibtex loop on it produces an error message:

---the literal stack isn't empty for entry MITRE-CWE-ConcurrencyIssues

Bibtex does its job but returns error code 2, which prevents further automatic processing. Is there any error in the input, in bibtex or in the .bst file? In the latter case, how to repair elsarticle-num.bst?

          It looks like there is a duplicate line in elsarticle-num.bst which is trying to use an item from the stack which isn't there anymore. I think that the function misc (line 1360 of elsarticle-num.bst), which looks like this:



          FUNCTION {misc}
          { output.bibitem
          format.authors output
          title empty$ 'skip$ 'setup.inlinelink if$ % urlbst
          format.title output
          howpublished output
          format.note output
          format.date "year" output.check
          fin.entry
          format.date "year" output.check
          write.url
          empty.misc.check
          }


          should have the second format.date "year" output.check removed:



          FUNCTION {misc}
          { output.bibitem
          format.authors output
          title empty$ 'skip$ 'setup.inlinelink if$ % urlbst
