Re: gEDA-user: Ground +5V confusion

[Dave N6NZ <n6nz@xxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like a netlist bug to me.  If you are getting round ring rats on 
the 5V line and you only have a ground plane, then I suspect the netlist 
has something odd in it.  In order for the round ring rat to show up, 5V 
  has to be connected to ground someplace already.  If not in the net 
list, then some earlier connection caused the short and made the rats 
show up.
