Hi gang-

I'm having problems building a PDF rendering of the releng article using
an openjade-based toolchain.  (See output appended below.)

I think it's tickling a bug either in openjade or pdftex.  The problem
comes about when openjade tries to generate bookmarks in the PDF file
(see the log entry for doc/share/sgml/freebsd.dsl rev. 1.20).  The
sections entitled "Disc #1", "Disc #2", and "Discs #3 and #4" should get
similarly named bookmarks.  Instead, the bookmarks in article.tex-pdf
seem to be named "Disc \1", "Disc \2" and "Discs \3 and \4".  pdftex
seems to choke on the bookmarks (the first two bookmarks come out as
"Disc" and "Disc", and pdftex exits with a fatal error on the last one, 
although it does produce a PDF file).

If I remove the backslashes from the bookmarks in article.tex-pdf,
pdftex seems happy and it generates a PDF file with intact bookmarks.
Ditto if I remove the "#" characters from the section titles in the
original article.sgml file.

The easiest workaround is probably to get rid of the "#" characters in
the article, but, well, this just seems dumb.  I don't know openjade
or pdftex well enough to fix the root problem.  Any suggestions?

Bruce.

PS.  I've come to the conclusion that murray brings out the worst in the
PDF-building doc toolchain.  :-)  :-)  :-)
