Dan,

Thank you very much for the help!

I applied the 'all' patch as your message suggested, and openjade
unfortunately started giving erroneous errors (talk about irony), and
segfaulting.  So I downloaded *just* the openjade table patch, and,
"voila!" ...problem solved.

Thanks so much!  This removes what I believe to be the last obstacle
that stood in the way of my accepting the jade/jadetex suite of tools
as the perfect documentation platform.  The others were funky
red-boxed hyperlinks and lack of PDF bookmarks, which were due to
using an old jadetex (RH sucks), and ignorance of the existence of
pdftex, respectively.
