And you remember this as a DRC bug. I'm going to take a guess that you
worked through DRC issues until you had none left, and didn't go back and
"Optimize rats nest" again and watch the message log for the
congratulations message. Sound right?
I have a branch that improves this situation by just sticking a warning in
DRC and I move again that we simply include it as is until a better fix
comes along.
