Solution 1:

In one case, the problem was found to be associated with
the fact that the 9504 version of VAN was incompatible with
the version of SIR2EDF in that release.

The fix is to replace the 9504 version of VAN with either
the 9604 or 97A revision of that program.

The ideal would be to update the entire suite of Cadence
software to the 97A version to avoid potential
incompatibilities with other Cadence tools.
