abnormal program termination


Solution 1:

Problem seems to be the input EDIF file. The EDIF file is
using '.' (dot) extensions. This currently causes problems
with M1.3.7.

Example of INVALID EDIF entry:

(instance (rename Test_SCH "Test.SCH")
       (viewRef NetlistView
        (cellRef Test)))

The current workaround is to edit the EDIF file by changing
the dots '.' to underscores '_'. The input EDIF file
should run successfully.

For the above example, the "Test.SCH" should be changed to
"TEST_SCH" as shown below:

  (instance (rename Test_SCH "Test_SCH")
       (viewRef NetlistView
        (cellRef Test)))
