Problem Title:
XVHDL F1.3: XVHDL caused an invalid page fault in module XVHDL.EXE


Problem Description:
URGENCY: Standard

Problem Description:

When synthesizing a VHDL design using the Metamor XVHDL
compiler on Windows 95, you may get the following windows
error:

"This operation has performed illegal operation and will shut down."

When you click on the DETAILS button, it says
"XVHDL caused an invalid page fault in module XVHDL.EXE at ___"


Solution 1:

This problem can be caused by having long instance names in
your code. A workaround is to try to reduce the instance names
to less than 7 characters. Additionally, if the instance names
contain special characters including "_", try not using them.
