This snapshot provides no real new features, just bug fixes and 
general cleanup.  The 2008-10-10 snapshot was very buggy.

Among the improvements:

1.
Code redesign related to calling Spice model setup functions.
Several users reported "terminate called after throwing an 
instance of 'Exception_Nothing_Wrong'"
What was wrong is a compiler problem that the exception didn't 
get caught where it should, even though code was there.
I suspect that it had something to do with the mix of C and C++ 
code.

2. Remove the "unreachable" trap from some probes.

3. Fix errors and assert failures that happened sometimes on the 
first time step with some Spice models.

As usual, to get started you need only the main package 
gnucap-2008-xx-xx.tar.gz .  

If you need other models or functions, let me know.
