Something that I just noticed.  When looking with gerbv at the gerbers 
everything is fine, but looking at the composite postscript output the four 
1206 packages on the board don't show their pads, but all of the other parts 
do???  The pads are shown on the original single .ps file from PCB, so it 
looks like something that MergPCBPS is doing.

Also had PCB seg-faulted several times when trying to produce the gerbers, but
it is not reproducible every time, seems random.  This is with CVS code 
as of 05Aug05.  Something else that I've noticed is that if you are running 
under KDE and you close PCB with the "X" on the frame, rather than from the 
PCB menu, you are NOT warned about unsaved work.
