Martin,
    I actually was looking at the published LRM rather than the latest
version, so it might have been fixed already.

However, I found a new problem. This time in section the example of
section 7.3.1 (page 138 of published LRM).

In this example a module is defined called semicoCMOS, and then a
several hierarchical references are made to it. But this is wrong. You
cannot reference a module definition. You must reference an instance of
a module. So, this example needs to be modified in two ways. First, the
semicoCMOS module must be instantiated. Second, the references should be
modified so they refer to the instance rather than the module definition.
