Why do I get the message "Error: Dedicated clock cannot feed I/O pin altclklock:i_PLL2|outclock0 in both positive and negative polarities" in the Quartus® II software version 2.0 when compiling an APEX™ II design?

Environment

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description The Quartus II software version 2.0 incorrectly gives this error when compiling APEX II designs and using the output clock from the phase-locked loop (PLL) to feed the DDRIO register clock ports in both positive and negative polarities. Although APEX II devices have a programmable clock inverter built into the I/O cell to accommodate this, the Quartus II software version 2.0 incorrectly prevents this action.

This problem is fixed in the Quartus II software version 2.0 SP1.
