Problem Title:

1.5i Virtex PAR - Placer seg faults when both list and single LOC csts applied to a TBUF set.



Problem Description:
Design contains nets that are driven by two TBUFs. On each of these TBUF nets, one of the TBUFs is LOC'ed to a single location on the right-side of the chip. List constraints are applied to the seco nd TBUF and these constraints direct it towards the left-side of the chip. Placer core dumps during
  the random drop initial placement.
