BUG NUMBER:  56

SEVERITY: [FATAL, SEVERE, MODERATE, ANNOYING, ENHANCEMENT]  ENHANCEMENT

PRIORITY: [HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW]                               LOW

STATUS: [OPEN, CLOSED, WILL NOT FIX, NOT A BUG]             CLOSED

FIXED VERSION: 3.2.8

FIXED DATE:    November 20, 2001

NOTES ON BUG FIX:  Classified at the April 20, 2001 IBIS Meeting.

                   A general fix related to issuing a Warning mesage if the
                   I-V table currents do not pass through 0 ma or at least
                   converge to 0 ma within some noise tolerance needs to be
                   proposed.  More discussion is needed since there was
                   debate on the details of the problem

                   Resolve to fix problem at the May 11, 2001 IBIS Meeting.

                   The tolerance for testing a "0" value was set to 1 uV
                   at the June 1, 2001 IBIS Meeting.

                   (Corrected in response to a question from Atul Agarwal
                   to be 1 uA tolerence.  9/10/01).
