For reasons unknown to me the following minimised latex code produces a
(/opt/local/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/mdwtools/syntax.sty) (./text.aux)) ! Incomplete \iffalse; all text was ignored after line 12.
error by pdflatex. Its derived from my document where the trouble started when I tried to add the syntax package:
\documentclass[a4paper,fontsize=12pt,parskip=half,toc=listofnumbered,toc=bib]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{syntax}
\begin{document}
\begin{quotation}
As a rule of thumb, if you can tell which computer you are using, you are not using a distributed system.
\end{quotation} from \cite{DOS_Tanenbaum}
\end{document}
Is seems it somehow interferes with bibtex, since when I remove the \cite it generates a pdf.
