This is a bug fix release.

There was a problem that would lead to an assert fail 
with some spice model plugins using spice-wrapper.cc.

The bug is a consequence of incomplete initialization of
internal nodes of spice devices.  The problem was 
expressed when continuing an analysis after a structure
change.  Certain non-analysis commands such as 
the ones that set up probes set up to analyze, so
they too could trigger the bug.

A sequence like:
probe or analyze
a topology change
probe or analyze
...... would trigger the bug.

The only file that must change is spice-wrapper.cc.
This file is not used by the core, but is used by all
spice model plugins.

The web site http://gnucap.org now links to the wiki, 
which is now the official web site.

As usual, to get started you need only the main package 
gnucap-2009-xx-xx.tar.gz .
