[TriEmbed] Eagle 7.4 autorouter & file handling flakey?

[Pete Soper]

<rant>I wonder if the otherwise intelligent people at Cadsoft have any 
idea how brain-dead it is to play with the menu bar icons, changing 
their appearance for the sake of changing them? I was forced to jump to 
7.4 this morning and wasted a lot of time finding things because, 
although the mouse pointer was going to the right area, I had to stop 
and let the text confirm I really had the thing I was after. Switching 
back and forth between 7 and 6 is going to be painful. I'm coming up to 
speed with Kicad but having to use Eagle part of the time until nearly 
the end of time is the same flavor reality as having to use Windows. 
Speaking of, this icon change is right out of the Windows play book. 
You'd think the wisdom on this subject would be in the water supply by 
now. On the other hand, I guess if Cadsoft was trying to emulate 
Microsoft they'd have hidden the tool bar so you couldn't even find it 
in less than a few minutes.</rant>

But I'm writing to see if anybody else has seen the autorouter make big 
mistakes, like putting a trace right through a pour instead of leaving 
it unrouted or installing the expected vias and routing across the other 
side? I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this.

What about the program crashing when you say "yes, do a save before 
proceeding to run the autorouter"? What I saw was a long hang while 
trying to write the files (permissions were golden: it had written those 
files multiple times in previous minutes). Then the app crashed. This is 
on 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04.
