Hello Jay,

Could you provide a small example that exhibits this behavior?  I
tried to reproduce your error with a minimial example (which I've
included below), but I was not successful in doing so.  (i.e., my
minimal example compiles without error).

---------------------------------
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ntheorem}

\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}
\begin{document}

Here is a theorem.

\begin{theorem}[Gnu Theorem \cite{lamport}]
Gnus are big and gnats are small.
\end{theorem}

\begin{thebibliography}{1}
\bibitem[1]{lamport} Lamport, Leslie.  \LaTeX{}: a Document
   Preparation System.
\end{thebibliography}

\end{document}
