gEDA-user: Dashes in footprint names legal? Bug?

[Bill Gatliff <bgat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Guys:


I get a syntax error in pcb whenever I try to use Luciani's 
SOT23-95P-280L1-5N__LTC_S5_Package footprint, but I'm not sure it has 
anything to do with the footprint itself.  I created the schematic with 
gschem and footprint=SOT23-95P-280L1-5N__LTC_S5_Package.  The pcb file 
was created by gsch2pcb.   The pcb log:

Looking for default_font in .
Can't open ./default_font for reading
Looking for default_font in /usr/bin/../share/pcb
Found default_font in /usr/bin/../share/pcb
ERROR parsing file 'foo.pcb'

Here is the element around line 140:

The line beginning with ")-95P-280L1-5N..." is line 140.

Interestingly, if I create a symlink in the footprint directory that 
points to the footprint file but has no dashes or underscores in the 
name, and then use that name for the footprint (i.e. 
"SOT2395P280L15NLTCS5Package"), things appear to work properly.

I'm guessing this would be a bug in gsch2pcb.

$ gsch2pcb --version
gsch2pcb 1.6
