Default 6 feet from disaster-Air France A320

This is about the Air France A320 @ Charles de Gaulle back in May. They read back back an altimeter setting of 1011 (29.85) when the controller said 1001 (29.56). That equals an altimeter error of 280 feet.
Based on the radio altimeter they came within six feet of hitting terrain.
