New IBISCHK6 bugs:

- Bob: Michael Schaeder found a strange message with "TBD" in it.
  - This only requires a message change.
- Mike: The bug was found in one of our QA testcases.
  - The .au file contains the strange message, so the problem is hidden.
  - I sent an email suggesting a message change.

AR: Mike LaBonte write bug report for "TBD" IBISCHK6 message

BUG 190:
- Bob showed BUG190.
- Bob: There are four testcases.
  - The valid testcase defines 3 ports in [External Model].
  - The second testcase is missing one port.
  - The third testcase is missing  a different port, used in A_to_D.
  - The fourth testcase adds a P3 port that is not used.
  - The message for the 2nd case is misleading.
  - It always reports TYP corner.
  - The problem line has nothing to do with corner.
  - The third case produces two irrelevant messages after one correct message.
  - More work is needed on the fourth testcase.
  - Message 0275 is an error in one case and a warning in another.
  - We may need a new message.
  - Some messages should be cleaned up if possible.
  - There is another bug in which no message is printed.

AR: Bob write bug reports for new issues


- Bob: We have not yet received an invoice from Atul.
