Any secrets to getting an index that doesn't have a bunch of "-999" entries?
Approximately 3/4ths of the entries in my index have the correct page number.
The rest say "-999". This despite the fact that 'jadetex' is not reporting any
unresolved references. 

Of course that doesn't mean anything. If I run Jadetex twice, vs. 4 times, my
table of contents is full of -999 page numbers even though it's not reporting
any unresolved references.

There's some boojums here, but I can't figure it out.

BTW, no matter how many times I run 'jadetex', I still end up with some -999
page numbers in my index... I once ran 'jadetex' a dozen times to see whether
that would help. Nope. Note that I use single-entry (<primary>) indexes, I
don't do double-level indexing (i.e., with <secondary>).... 

example:

man-in-the-middle attacks, 78,84,84
MD5, -999,-999,85,196,197,205
Message Authentication Checksum, -999,-999

Very frustrating. 

Here is the 'index.sgml' section for the above:
