Subject: DC 98.02 May Hang Up During Insert_Scan & The Workaround

Hi John,

Design Compiler 98.02 may hang during insert_scan process, and the problem is
reported to Synopsys (registered as LOGID 65436.)  The problem occurs when
insert_scan in the process of fixing design rule violation, and it does not
work even if -ignore_compile_design_rules is specified.

Synopsys engineering has come out with a hidden variable which can avoid the
problem, and I have verified the workaround.   

           test_dont_fix_constraint_violations = true

Since insert_scan command is widely used by all Synopsys users, please post
this information for whom may encounter this issue during insert_scan.
