gEDA-user: Spurious ratlines in PCB

[TheOtherSam <sam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

PCB seems to be drawing spurious Rat lines for connections that are not in
the net list. In particular, I have a pair of 34-pin headers and each shows
a connection between pin 2 and pin 28 of the same header. There is a signal
routed to pin 2, but pin 28 is a no-connect. The Net List window in PCB
shows no corrosponding connections, and the *.net file created by gsch2pcb
likewise shows no such connection.

This is NOT a case of a pair of pins that appear to be connected by a rat
line going elsewhere. The auto-router will place a connection where the
bogus rat line indicates.

I have re-run gsch2pcb and re-loaded the netlist and the bogus rat line
re-appears. Prior to re-running gsch2pcb, I added a ground connection
previously omitted, and it DID show up upon re-loading netlist, so I know
the tool flow is good.

I am using version 20060822 with Fedora 6, PCB was installed via yum.

Is there some error I am making that would cause PCB to draw a rat line for
a connection not in netlist?

Thanks,
Samcat
