Well, I used it quite often, but sometimes the nonlinear load effect 
on previous stages is a problem.

Obviously.

I thought I had checked that. But guess what ? I didn't find the schemos at
the 4093, and never went on to the 40106. There it is (;->).
I assume the hysteresis is just set by the "strength" of the first stage
overriding the second one. 

Thanks,
