   The error you mention was present in several XCircuit revisions
after making a change to the Tcl interface. . . the "imultiple"
variable was incorporated into the "XCOps" hash table variable,
and I missed a couple of (critical) instances.  This was fixed
some time ago (see the CHANGES file in the distribution top-level
directory).  Either your version of xcircuit is a bit out of date
(try 3.2.21), or the .tcl files were not overwritten in the install
directory (less likely).  I know that I made this change about the
same time I started implementing the bus notation, so for a while
the download page implied that those revisions that corrected the
problem were not to be trusted for netlist output.  However, since
revision 19, everything appears to be stable and working correctly.
