PROBLEM:
Recent transcripts of sensor logs showed faulty temperature readings. For example, while visiting 'Hotel Royale', you measured a ground temperature of -291 Celsius. Since a temperature of -18 Kelvins is considered abnormal, an error was generated by the sensor log review computer.
Further study found a bug in the the temperature probe code. Following is a source patch to fix the problem. Please apply this as soon as possible.
