Cite problem

[Dieter Britz]

Until now I have enjoyed using the cite package but
now it is making trouble. Here is a mini-example:

\documentclass[review,12pt]{elsarticle}
\usepackage{cite}
\begin{document}
\begin{frontmatter}
\title{Bla bla}
\author{me}
\address{Here}
\ead{m...@myself.dk}
\date{}
\begin{abstract}
Bla.
\end{abstract}
\begin{keyword}
{blA.}
\end{keyword}
\end{frontmatter}

\section{Introduction}\label{intro}
Bla bla \cite{Aoki1984} bla.

\end{document}

Trying pdflatex on this I get the error message

Runaway argument?
]{Aoki1984} bla.
! Paragraph ended before \@citex was complete.
<to be read again>
\par
l.20

What do I do? I like this package and want to keep using it.

I can reproduce the error, even with a much shorter example:

\documentclass{elsarticle}
\usepackage{cite}
\begin{document}

\section{Introduction}\label{intro}
Bla bla \cite{Aoki1984} bla.
\end{document}

But cite.sty dates to 2015/02/27. So it is likely that something else
changed and causes the break.

The error does not occur with article.cls.

In my log the most recent date that I find is 2017/01/12 of pdftex.def.

"Now" is not really acurate. This would never (at least since 2012)
have worked.

elsarticle loads natbib and natbib is not compatible with cite.

"The natbib package, however, is not compatible with either cite
..."

try

\documentclass{elsarticle}
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{amsrefs}
\begin{document}

\section{Introduction}\label{intro}
Bla bla \cite{Aoki1984} bla.
\end{document}
