Now.. if you'd read my last mail, you might have been clued up to post a
link to the source-forge bug. Given a bug, a patch, and a confirmation
that it has been tried, and works... it might be one which could be
applied right away! It certainly got my attention, but stopped short
because finding bugs on sourceforge without a link is a ROYAL PAIN.

For anyone keen, this is the link:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2946254&group_id=73743&atid=538811

I'm not intimately familiar with the auto-router (and don't use it), so
independent verification is good.


The patch looks good to me (although I've only skimmed it). It might
warrant a definition of what a "freckle" is, if that term isn't use
elsewhere.


The optimisation is probably fine to add. A complete fix would address
the issue in the auto-router as well.


I'm happy to apply the patch, but I'm heading home now, as its getting
late. Someone bug me to apply the patch!
