I know you fixed the problem already, cuz I read ahead a few emails.
However, I just wanted to say that I've used both Figure 3 and Figure 6
circuits. I like them both for different reasons. For saw or triangle
shaping, it's important to add the suggested cap to minimize the glitch.
It's also important to add a cap across the feedback loop of the final
opamp.
In any case, both of these HWR circuits work perfectly.
