I was told a KiCAD project archive is not really fully contained, ready to run on any other machine. One must add all kind of extra resources. I tried to add some library files I created and used for this example. I hope it is a complete example and can be executed on other systems. I suspect some library files must be placed in the KiCAD folder somewhere. See attached project.

Please add sufficient information to these bug reports to allow people to recreate the bug. In this case, the project is large and it is unclear which part we are meant to be looking at.

How to reproduce the bug: open and run attached project. The simulation completes without errors.
Now change the net name in a place, replacing at least one character with the it's correspondent lower case or capital. For example, replace the netname "out" with "Out". The simulation will crash. It is supposed to be case insensitive.
