The usual disclaimer on acknowledgments applies: credit where credit  
is due, responsibility for errors is mine as first author. I think  
we'll wind up doing the final layout verification sims both with  
ngspice and Tanner (Ikeda-sensei and the Osaka folks have that) just  
to be sure. I've used several SPICE flavors, and I've never seen one  
that didn't have a bug somewhere.
