Very high ohm resistor that. And hopefully that's not it, because the pull-down function might even me needed in a discrete board. BUt I was thinking of gate capacitance, some voodoo impedence matching (or even mismatching) to prevent trouble from some reflection somewhere. In that case, the discrete board can't be expected to have the same set of problems. But even if the transistors played
