Hi Christian,

Thanks for the feedback. mozrepl interaction is definitely
troublesome; my experience has not been as bad as yours, but there can
be problems.

I have changed zotero.el to reset the mozrepl process frequently; it
is a bit of a hack, but it seems to improve things a bit.T

I am hoping that using the recently announced zotero.org API for
citation generation will be more stable than using mozrepl.

best, Erik
