yeah, sorry, my mistake. I was very tired last Friday!

Just to clarify:
I'm using DocBook SGML and have made some minor tweaks using my own
dsssl stylesheet. The whole is based on DocBook SGML 4.1 using the
cygnus stylesheets.
I am going from SGML to postscript by executing the following commands:
jade -t tex -V tex_backend project.sgml
jadetex project.tex
jadetex project.tex
jadetex project.tex
jadetex project.tex
dvips -o project.ps -f project.dvi
The offending SGML reads as:
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.1//EN" [
<!ENTITY plan SYSTEM "plan.sgml">
<!ENTITY definition SYSTEM "definition.sgml">
<!ENTITY biblio SYSTEM "bibliography.sgml">
<!ENTITY tcpip SYSTEM "tcpip.sgml">

To Father, without whom I would
doubtless be doing something far more exciting, and Teresa, for putting
up with me while I was writing this project.

Each external entity referenced takes the form:
<!--
Uncomment doctype declaration when using Emacs with PSGML
-->
<!--
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.1//EN" >
-->
<chapter>
<section>
<title>
Section Title
</title>
<para>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Caecilius est in
atrio quamquam cerberos, mit effit ecce
tractorum.
</para>
</section>
</chapter>
I am reasonably certain that the problem is not with the content of the
first entity referenced because if I swap the order in which the
entities are referenced the problem of the pages renumbering at the
start of the second section remains.
The changes made in the DSSSL are stored in the same directory under
the name project.dsl. This DSSSL is based on the cygnus print DSSSL
entitled dbparam.dsl - I copied the file to my working directory,
renamed it and have been working on that.
Here I reproduce the relevant sections of the edited DSSSL - I have
removed the comments for the sake of brevity:
