This conflict or crisis of the CDM has been highlighted by several recent papers of Kochanek, who claims that the standard value of $H_0$ favors a strangely small halo as compact as the stellar light distribution with an overall nearly Keplerian rotation curve. In an earlier paper (Paper I, astro-ph/0209191) we argue that this is not necessarily the case, at least in a perfectly symmetrical Einstein cross system. Here we introduce a {\it new mass degeneracy} of lens systems to give a counter example to Kochanek's claims. We fit the time delay and image positions in the quadruple image system PG1115+080. Equally good fits are found between lens models with flat vs. Keplerian rotation curves. Time delays in both types of models can be fit with the standard value of $H_0$. We demonstrate that it may still be problematic to constrain the size of lens dark halos even if the data image positions are accurately given and the cosmology is precisely specified.6pp w/ 1 table and 3 color eps fig (submitted to ApJ, 18 Aug 2002)Astrophysicstext
