* Jadetex and pdftex not playing nice together

I have been using pdftex 14.f for some time, but when I try to run
docbook2pdf using the new docbooktools, I get the following message:

[tporter@traveller tporter]$ docbook2pdf dbt.sgml
Using catalogs: /etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-3.1.cat
Using stylesheet:
/usr/share/sgml/docbook/utils-0.5/docbook-utils.dsl#print
Working on: /home/tporter/dbt.sgml
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-14f-released-20000525 (Web2C 7.3.2x)
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)

Running pdflatex against a latex file works fine.  Running texexec --pdf
against a ConTeXt input file also works fine.  There just seems to me a
mismatch against jade/jadetex somewhere.

I had this same problem with the old docbook-tools as well, so I do not
think it is due to the new tool-set.

I know this is something simple, but I do not think I have the needed
input files to regenerate the needed format file.  Has anyone else seen
this?  Any hints on how to resolve it?

TIA

Okay. Can you please send me your sgml file?

I fixed something like this in the old tools at the very beginning, so I
think I know what you're speaking about. But this should have
disappeared.

As said above, it reminds me of old problems. But first send me your
file.
