ADR stock prices

All of a sudden all my stocks that are ADRs and have 5 letter stock
symbols ending in the letter "Y" have stopped updating. The last stock
price downloaded is for 3/7.

Is that happening to anyone else? If so, why?

On 3/14/08, pricing resumed. But there were no prices download from 3/10
to 3/13 for ADR shares with 5 letter stock symbols ending in the letter "Y."

Did that happen to anyone else?

I seem to remember that the NASDAQ has an annoucement about fifth-letter
designations changing (the Y in the ADR symbols is called, obviously in
hindsight, the fifth letter), but I can't find it now. The other fifth-
letters mean other things (like Q="company is in bankruptcy").

If you search Google for "NASDAQ fifth letter" you'll find a bunch of
stuff, but not all of it seems to be helpful to your question.

I think the fifth letter was supposed to change in the data feeds, but I'm
sorry that I can't remember more than that now. If it was wacky for a few
days and got fixed, then you can blame some internal changeover.
