From: Todd Kline <todd@wgate.com>

The only SDF based problem I have had with Modelsim was with Verilog models.
Verilog-XL has extended features which are not supported in Modelsim.  I
have never had a problem with VHDL models.

Since you are not sure about you SDF file generation, are you using the -c
VHDL and -f sdf-v2.1 switches?
