Description

Modification of the regexp patterns used to identify the numeration that accompanies a Journal title citation in order to fix a bug that could occur under certain conditions: + Under certain conditions, certain prerint report-numbers were found to have been corrupted. As an example, consider the following line: H.Aoyama, N.Nakayama, M.Sato, T.Tanaka 2001 hep-th/0107048, 0108124.

It was found that refextract transformed it into:
H.Aoyama, N.Nakayama, M.Sato, T.Tanaka 2001 hep-th/ : 0107048 (1081) 0 24.

This was due to a problem in the regexp patterns - the constraints on the
recognition of the "volume" were not strict enough. In this revision,
these search constraints have been tightened (around the volume
recognition) so that volumes will not be matched against "/", or even
against other digits in order to prevent the corrumption of such data.
