[vsnet-chat 6399] Re: AAVSO names in SIMBAD

     Here is the response from Pascal Dubois in Strasbourg:

     I wrote in part:

     Pascal responded:
>>  The software which update Simbad, made a bug for about 300 AAVSO
>>  identifiers.  We don't yet understand what happened.

>>  We will fix this problem.

     So it looks as though the names will be going away from the
SIMBAD headers once the software problem is found.
