Because of low priority and severity I suggest to move RHEL version for fix to 5 - there will be no RHEL 3.10 and this problem will not get to 3.9 or standalone security patch for RHEL 3.
Just want to mention that the problem is most probably not in docbook-utils package, because on my machine with other later docbook packages it works with RHEL-5 and FC-6 docbook-utils without troubles. Will try to find something more and possibly reassign the problem...
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. This request will be reviewed for a future Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.
As I said, I'm still not able to reproduce the problem with docbook-utils you mentioned... pdf processed without errors... could you please specify following things: 1) rpm -q docbook-style-xsl 2) Have you tried F8/RAWHIDE docbook packages? 3) Could you please attach log with the error messages? Thanks in advance.

I retried the example with fecora 8. p% rpm -q docbook-style-xsl docbook-style-xsl-1.73.2-3.fc8 One difference with F8 is that the pdf is generated with correct results dispite a few hundred lines of error messages. log file of the jw command attached.
Cleaning up old bugzillas... as sgml branch of tools is much less in use nowadays I doubt this is worth of further investigation - especially if it is "only" producing non critical error messages and pdf is correctly generated. Closing WONTFIX.
