variant of "args out of range" error on Mac OS
I have both a Mac and a Linux machine running gscholar-bibtex. On Linux, there are no problems.
At the moment the "args-out-of-range [], 0" error appears on the Mac every time I run gscholar-bibtex except for the first time I run it after starting Emacs. In other words, I can start Emacs, run gscholar-bibtex, retrieve some bibtex without problem. If I try to do that whole process again, I get this error:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range [] 0)

The page of source material that's retrieved from Google looks different in the second run: in the first run, the needed scholar.bib snippets are there:

I'd be very happy to do further debugging! Please advise.
I notice in *URL-DEBUG* that if I don't hard-code the cookie (as suggested in #10) then sometimes the file seems to contain a truncated cookie:
Cookie: HttpOnly=nil; NID=132=1VGl6Z2-44w9IfQFjBA3uEOTAo43GNCXcO2C3PM4fz3IkNLw0BCpM7AbJE96tPH3Xq2TWfdMVdzL0rvjH-7rqMXLjUxzGyPhiHBkEbFfoLgLra45o7d7cq_yK45JkBl-
