problems with pdfjadetex and pdftex 14.c

[Thomas Porter <txporter at mindspring dot com>]

I am using the cygnus docbook rpms, rebuilt for RedHat 5.2:

jadetex-2.5-0
jade-1.2.1-4
docbook-3.1-5
psgml-1.0.3-2
sgml-common-0.1-3
stylesheets-0.10-2

teTeX 1.0-1

I am also using pdftex 14.c and hyperref 6.66g (or was using hyperref 6.66g
before installing the RPM's.  I am unclear as to whether the jade/jadetex RPM's
include hyperref or not.)

Based on other posts I saw on Dejanews I made various stack sizes in texmf.cnf
larger.

I have run texconfig init as well, which rebuilt many but not all formats
listed in /usr/share/texmf/web2c.  Jade related formats were not rebuilt by
this process.

When I try to run db2pdf on docbook-intro.sgml from
http://nis-www.lanl.gov/~rosalia/mydocs, I get the following error in my
docbook-intro.log:

------
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/psnfss/t1pcr.fd
File: t1pcr.fd 1998/07/06 Fontinst v1.800 font definitions for T1/pcr.
) [8.0.54] [9.0.54]
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [parameter stack size=6000].
\@lduseb@x #1->
               \@lduseb@x {#1}\set@color
l.3689 {0}}1. \endLineField
                           {}Use \Node%
If you really absolutely need more capacity,
you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.


Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
 3298 strings out of 55393
 33482 string characters out of 1381036
 141574 words of memory out of 263001
 11860 multiletter control sequences out of 10000+65535
 37022 words of font info for 43 fonts, out of 200000 for 1000
 14 hyphenation exceptions out of 1000
 6000i,11n,6001p,334b,2070s stack positions out of 15500i,1500n,6000p,50000b,15000s

The parameter stack size cannot be made larger than this, and all posts I have
seen seem to indicate that this error is normally due to some runaway
recursion.  Has anyone else gotten docbook to work with pdftex 14.c?  If so
what versions of which packages did you need?  pdflatex and ConTeXt work fine.
Is there a format file I have to rebuild, or might the new docbook rpms fix
this?

db2dvi works fine.  This seemds to indicate a culprit in the pdfjadetex area. 

Smaller trivial examples such as hello.sgml from the docbook-intro run through
db2pdf fine, so I am stumped.  Any help welcome.

Thanks,
