Problems with processing a basic DB file

[Paul Gerwe <paul@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

I have been endeavoring to successfully process a basic docbook file using
the most recent version of jade, jadetex and the rest, downloaded from
ftp.cygnus.com/pub/home/rosalia/docware/RPMS/i386/

namely:
docbook-3.0-5.i386.rpm
jade-1.1_1-3.i386.rpm
jadetex-1.01-0.i386.rpm
psgml-1.0.1-5.i386.rpm
sgml-common-0.0-4.i386.rpm
stylesheets-0.3-2.i386.rpm

I am running on a Red Hat Linux 5.1 system.  The rpms installed
successfully, and I have even unistalled and reinstalled them to verify
that that isn't the problem.  The file I'm trying to process is the
following:

<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//Davenport//DTD DocBook V3.0//EN"
  [
  <?stylesheet href="/usr/lib/sgml/stylesheets/bosak-db3.dsl" 
       type="text/dsssl">
  ]>
<article role="HowTo">
<ArtHeader>
  <title>How to Write HOWTOs Using the DocBook DTD</title>
  <abstract>
    <Para>This document describes and serves as an example of how to write
        HOWTOs using the DocBook DTD.  The intent is to provide a starting
        framework to use as a guide as well as describe some common
structures 
        and tags used in similar documents.

Running the command:

jade -t tex test.sgml > test.tex

results in a Segmentation Fault (core dumped) error.  If I try and use
db2ps directly it drops me into LaTeX and is an empty file that complains
that it doesn't have a file beginning.  

I've validated the document using the sgmltools extensions to emacs and
have reviewed the DTD to make sure I have all necessary elements.  When I
try and process the file with the embedded stylesheet reference removed,
and the dbtohtml stylesheet instead, the resulting .html file stops after
the abstract, though attempts to process a ToC.

For those interested in seeing the attempts I've made, I've attached a
script of the session, and I'm also attaching a copy of the html output.

TeX and postscript output is what I need.  Anyone have any ideas why
it isn't working? Thanks!

With a sweep of his hat,

Paul
