[NTLK] Patch 712000 testing

[Sylvain]

@Matthias,
You may have kept a low profile last week, but you're back with a bang!
A big thank you from all of us for your work, here in France we appreciate this new tool even more than elsewhere!
A tool which I have no doubt will be very useful to developers.

@Eckhart
I was just going to say that unfortunately we never got our hands on the Watson “Cirrus NoDebug”. Very little, if any, information came out of Schlumberger about the Watsons. The fact that they were designed for the French healthcare market must certainly have forced Schlumberger to avoid data leaks as much as possible. This also applies to the hardware and software aspects of communication with the French health services. 
It had already taken 30 years to get our hands on a ROM that could be exploited (all the others are protected against extraction), so there was no chance of finding this Debug Symbols.
And here Matthias' tool appears, as if by miracle!

Thank you again



Sylvain P.
