Explicit truncation of long citations always gives "and 1 others" #70

I've seen that on issue #49 you've introduced the implicit truncation of citations for more than 20 authors. The bib file I am using, however, has explicit truncation. That is, a "and others" special entry is added at the end of the authors list at the point where the truncation is to happen, like this: author = {Name Surname and Name Surname and Name Surname and others}.

This is accepted by most styles, as far as I know. The style file will then process this in some way, yielding a final bibliography entry with "and others", "et al.", or something to that effect at the end of the list of authors.

What I see happening with the current ACL style is that the final bibliography entry always shows "and 1 others", regardless of the number of truncated authors.
