The above statement is correct.  However, please note that we do not
have the problem probing the French DSA that Thomas is experiencing
and so any bug that did exist has presumably been fixed.  At the
moment however, the probe software can be regarded as being no longer
available.  If VALUE PARADISE wish to review this situation of course,
this position could change in the future.  I suggest therefore that if
you value the merged probing results from several sites that NEXOR are
able to provide, you lobby for funding !
