Roland,

Thanks for your response to my problem.

I am not sure what or where I can get the "master" branch. I have 
historically gotten my gEDA releases from the gEDA website. 
http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:download
(BTW: This page still has some old versions listed. Is there a better, 
more up-to-date official release location?)

For some years, I have been lobbying for a new gEDA release, but got 
resistance that gEDA is now perfect and does not need any new 
development or new releases. This problem sounds like one additional 
rebuttal to that position.

Since there were only four of these terminals giving me problems, my 
solution was to re-draw the symbols as a real graphic without any 
intelligence, leaving the net node electrically hanging. The net still 
has a pull-up resistor connected to it, so it has more than one node. It 
is not pretty, but it does get rid of the pcb error and still matches my 
PCB design.

Thanks.
Girvin
