heh, the exact two problems I had when I went to make a board almost a
year ago. The board house freaked because their software did something
similar to what gerbw is doing right now. In attempting to figure out
what was going on, I did find problem your patch fixes as well, and sent
it off to harry eaton. Someone should *really* take over pcb
