The standard error in the second part is the standard error of the
standard error. Remember that the standard error is also an estimate,
so you can have sampling uncertainty around that too. The standard
error in the second part of your table tells you about the uncertainty
about the estimate of the standard error. So, it can be interesting too
look at it, but the standard error you are after is in the first part
of the table. Normally you would not ask for the second part of your
table (and exclude the -_se- from the -bootstrap- statement).
Hope this helps,
