	After I built it, I don't seem to be able to get the value of the
`device' attribute from my schematics.  The access function returns
`unknown'.  I have to verify that the attribute is now unattached on all my
symbols, but it did have the same problems on the new Verilog symbols I
generated, and these definitely have unattached attributes. (Attached
attributes could be part of the problem..)

	I didn't `uninstall' the old snapshot, so I can't be sure that there
aren't any leftover bits from the previous version.  From your surprise, I
guess that it works fine at your end?  In any case, I will re-build the
latest snapshot and clean out the old one.  This might take a few days.
