     A stab in the dark:
     Maybe you have a copy of 7404-1.sym somewhere on your hardware that
     actually
     is a 7404-3.sym in disguise. This disguised symbol file may be found
     first,
     on start-up of gschem. You can test this hypothesis by not setting
     the slotting
     at all and just save to text.sch . In addition you can use the
     "locate"
     command to locate all symbol files called "7404-1.sym" on your hard
     disk.

      I feel really, really stupid.
      This is exactly what happened.  There was another 7404-1.sym file
     in my symbol path, an old one that I had created years ago, and it
     was shadowing the "real" one, overriding it when the sheet was
     loaded.
      I swear I'm usually not this much of an idiot. ;)  Thank you for
     your assistance, and I apologize for the distraction.

   oops, didn't see this reply yet - sorry
   I guess the error propagated to my machine when using his database.
   I have to quit sitting so close to him :)

   and that wouldn't be the only reason ;)
