     Due to the automated probe annotation, a subset of probes can be
     "confidently" mapped to multiple chromosomes on the genome.

     This can cause some confusion if you are trying to perform certain
     types of data analysis.

     This function examines a 'chromLocation' object and removes probes
     that map to multiple chromosomes.
