CCR 689416: Load .cdsinit goes into infinite loop

Description: Using hi toplevel forms in load() or loadi() starts a recursive evaluator in the load sequence.

Solution: Do not use hi functions that open new toplevels inside .il files called by load() or loadi().

CCR 522913: deOpen SKILL function does not work correctly with config view

Description: The SKILL function deOpen allows opening of a config view. Currently, if you open a sub-cell in context of this configuration, it does not acquire the binding setup of the config view.

Solution: To acquire the correct configuration binding, you can open a sub-cell through the Cadence Hierarchy Editor, or directly from a schematic (in context of the configuration) using Virtuoso Schematic Editor.
