Tor Detection failures

We have found that in some cases our Tor Detection service is not identifying Tor network nodes when it should be. Resolution of this anomaly has become our top priority for the short term. As best we can tell from our internal testing, network nodes are correctly identified most of the time, but we do not yet know what "most" precisely means, nor do we know what is causing the failure to detect.

This only affects users of ippages.com and only the XML and HTML interfaces. Our SOAP interface update has not yet been released, and showmyip.com has not yet been upgraded to do Tor Detection.
