[BioC] assign a same probe to differents probesets

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

I have experience with such a chip. In my experience - once you have  
the necessary CDF package which can be a pain - there is no problem  
using the standard affy functions. GCRMA however has some problems.

So I guess you are doing something wrong here.
