The fixed s2ibis2 prints 4 digits after the decimal instead of 2. With only
2 digits, voltage differences less than 10mV between points make them appear
identical.

Also there is a parameter in s2idflt.h:

#define DIODE_DROP_DEFAULT 1.0

This is used by s2ibis2 to jump around in the SPICE data to find beginnings
and ends of "linear" and "non-linear" regions. On lower voltage devices the
1V value makes s2ibis2 jump too far and pick up wrong data or ignore data.
Change the value to 0.7, recompile, and s2ibis2 will work better.
