   Try:  <!entity stderr "<osfd>2">   at the top, instead.  By having
SYSTEM in there, you're telling Jade that <osfd>2 is the system
identifier from which to read the replacement text for &stderr;.  That
replacement text (the file name you type after starting Jade) then
becomes the system identifier to which Jade writes its output.  By
removing SYSTEM, "<osfd>2" now becomes the replacement text, and is
used as the system identifier to which output should be sent.
