Bibtex hash size exceeded

I am trying to compile my manuscript. I am using a large bibtex database that contains conference papers, in addition to my custom bib file.Also I am using the CCS template, as follows:
bibliographystyle{ACM-Reference-Format}
bibliography{mybibliography,abbrev3,crypto}
But when I compile my tex, I am getting the following errors, and the reference list does not show up:
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2017/Debian)
The top-level auxiliary file: main.aux
The style file: ACM-Reference-Format.bst
A level-1 auxiliary file: appendix.aux
Database file #1: mybibliography.bib
Database file #2: abbrev3.bib
Database file #3: crypto.bib
Sorry---you've exceeded BibTeX's hash size 100000
Aborted at line 291526 of file crypto.bib
(That was a fatal error)
Process exited with error(s)
However, if I break the bib files into 3 separate lines, it compiles (with some warnings) but I am getting my references displayed 3 times...
bibliography{mybibliography}
bibliography{abbrev3}
bibliography{crypto}
Is there any solution for that? I have tried looking on how to increase the Bibtex hash size but couldn't find anything...

You can setsave_sizeto a higher value by editingtexmf.cnf(which you can find withkpsewhich texmf.cnf) → tex.stackexchange.com/questions/134597/…

Nope.. Addedsave_size = 100000to/etc/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnfbut still same error.

TL;DR: Don't use this humongous database, instead copy the relevant entries to a new and slimmer .bib-file
Since crypto.bib is rather huge (21M), you have to use bibtex8 and set --mstrings to a rather high value. I tried bibtex8 --mstrings 700000 and it kind of worked, i.e. bibtex8 still threw lots of warnings and errors.
I compiled a small test document with lualatex:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{amsmath}
usepackage{amsfonts}
usepackage{natbib}
usepackage{hyperref}
begin{document}
nocite{*}
bibliographystyle{ACM-Reference-Format}
bibliography{abbrev3,crypto}
end{document}
Which produced a neat PDF of 4534 pages:

Unfortunately, while bibtex8 seems to work with warnings as you said, when I runpdflatexafter I'm getting lots ofUnderfull vbox (badness 10000) has occurred while output is activeerrors and finally! Undefined control sequence.. My tex works fine otherwise. I also tried to manually download the database from their website as you suggested but their script seems to be broken..

@Panos you have to ignore the error. The database too big and buggy to use. You'd be better off, copying the relevant entries to an new.bib-file

@Panos - If you get lots ofUnderfull vboxwarnings (not errors), try issuing the instructionsloppybeforebibliography.

@Panos TheUndefined control sequence-errors are caused by math in titles of papers (like: "The art gallery problem is $existsmathbb{R}$-complete"). You need to loadamsmathandamsfontsto get rid of the errors.

Ok I eventually found out that there were a couple of entries in the database that had some weird stuff in brackets and they were responsible for the undefined control sequence errors. Problem solved. Thanks!
