	I've played with this now quite a bit, and it's a bug. 
The expected behavior is if you connect any power (or gnd) symbol to 
a net, then that netname is replaced by the power/gnd netname.  In the
case you mentioned about, gnetlist isn't handling the perpendicular 
netname correctly.  

	I have filed bug #117 to track this.  Thanks for the bug report.
