I've just been bitten by another problem, changing specifications
without changing the part number nor anything else.

For some reason, I need to test a circuit down to liquid nitrogen
temperature, and I had decided to use Honeywell's HEL-705-U series
RTD (platinum temperature sensors, 1kohm at 0C). The temperature 
range was specified as -200C to 260C, they recently changed the
lower end of the temperature range to -70C. I have the old and
newer datasheets as a proof. Reducing the range of a temperature probe
by 130C without even touching the part number is unacceptable in my
eyes, I sent them an email (trying to be polite as my opinion on
their behaviour is not printable) but did not get any answer.

It's a mess, I had designed an enclosure with temperature sensing
points designed to accomodate the probe. I have a few probes bought
last year in stock but I need ~25 more to finish the project, and I
don't know whether new ones will work or not.

    Regards,
    Gabriel
