A cautious man!  FWIW, Greg and I have been doing tuning runs for many
months, since long before recent changes to the lexer.  Over time we've
seen consistent differences in tuning results.  Tests with his messages
give low min_dev values while tests with my messages give high min_dev
values.  Lexer changes (including tagging _all_ header tokens) have not
had any effect on this difference.  As I said, this difference has been
consistent.
