Seth,

Even though technically we are in a feature freeze and the bug severity
is wish list, I would consider this patch since it's fairly trivial.  My
only question is why the arbitrary limit of items with only two
connection points?  The same bug will occur with any symbol with pins
directly across from each other not just symbols with only two pins
across from each other.  I'm guessing this will complicate the code but
your solution is not complete.

Cheers,

Wayne
