What is the source for the claim of a rabbinical curse?

I have seen some people claim that there is a rabbinical curse on those who try to calculate the timeline as specified in Daniel 9.

So, what is the source of this rabbinical curse?

I should note that this source should be a valid one, i.e. it actually exists and is actually referring to Daniel 9.

    I think try searches on yahoo!answers and google book searches on rabbinical texts to find the source

    Since I have received no answers, I will have to answer my own question.

    There is absolutely no basis for this claim.

    Two two sources I have seen cited are:

    Talmudic Law, p.978, Section 2, Line 28.

    and

    Sanhedrin 97b

    Regarding the former, such a book and reference do NOT EXIST. The quote also DOES NOT EXIST.

    Regarding the later, there is a curse cited however, nowhere in the context does it say or imply it is referring to Daniel 9.
