gEDA-bug: [Bug 912976] [NEW] gnetlist:get-nets is partially broken

["John P. Doty" <jpd@xxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

The gnetlist Guile primitive (gnetlist:get-nets) is apparently intended
to yield the netname connected to the given pin along with all pins
connected to that net, including the pin in the initial query. A little
experimentation, however, shows that it does not reliably list all of
the connections, possibly due to a problem with net= connections.
Existing back ends that  use  (gnetlist:get-nets) appear to use only the
netname, so the incomplete pin list is generally discarded.

In addition, if an error occurs in looking up the pin, the diagnostic
message lists only the pinnumber, but not the refdes, which makes
tracking down the erroneous symbol triggering the error difficult.
