Default Nozomi's state?

What is the state of Nozomi now? There is little or nothing
information available on any English language Japanese web sites,
and all information is pretty old. Last MEPAG newsletter mentioned
about MOI on January 1st, 2004, so I guess it is still on correct
course atleast?
What is the probability of succesfull MOI? I read that the orbit
insertion might be tricky with so little fuel left, and the electronics
is in quite a bad shape. What is the estimated life time?

A quick look round the Japanese language Japanese web sites failed
to find anything recent either.
