JabRef can't read .bib file created by JabRef 3.0

Help
1

I am migrating to a new computer setup, and when I installed JabRef 3.8.2 I found that it could not read the .bib files created by JabRef 3.0. Only 991 out of 3140 entries appear, and there’s an error message (see end of this post).

I have looked at the supposedly bad lines in a text editor, and I really don’t see any missing commas. But that’s what you would expect, because I never edit the .bib file by hand, it’s generated by JabRef.

Is there a way to fix the problem? I’m recovering from typing pain, so I will be trying the less typing-intensive methods first.

Here’s a link to my complete .bib file.

Here’s the error message:

1. Error occurred when parsing entry: 'Error in line 4815 or above: Empty text token.

Here is the first entry that generated an error:

@Book{burzio.1994,

I am new to this forum. Please me know if I’m doing something wrong.
