There is a variety of information on this at
http://www.flatoday.com/today/ and http://www.esrin.esa.it/. The 6
Jun press release says they are loking at software, but as nearly as I
could tell there are also other causes which are being considered.
So if anyone wants to post solid information, great, but IMHO, there
isn't much point in speculating.

Check out Jonathan's space report #289 at
http://hea-www.harvard.edu/QEDT/jcm/space/jsr/jsr.html. He has a list
of the first flights of new (not upgraded) first stages. Maybe half
of them have succeeded (whether the upper stages, if any, succeeded
also he doesn't list).
