Re: problem with latest win32 patch for java VarProbe

That's the behavior that VarProbe and the ProbeLibrary
getProbeForVariable have always had.  I don't have an objection to
changing the behavior of those two cases, but since the ProbeLibrary
method is currently based on ProbeMaps (which *ought* to be restricted
to the immediate declared class), it would take some reworking.

I'd suggest for clarity you subclass VarProbe and explicitly 
instantiate the probes you want.  (Your subclass would step up through
the hierarchy testing each one for the variable.)
