I've got to get some work done right now.  I thought I would check to
see if someone else was experiencing this problem before I tried to
resolve it.  I'll check this evening if my home system has the same
problem.  If not, I'll do some debugging on my work computer and see if
I can figure out what is going on as soon as I get this board done.  I
can just add my custom libraries to the global table to get my board
laid out.

Thanks,
