Comment (by A. Sinan Unur <sinan@…>):

 Actually, looking again at Table I in the paper, there is the possibility
 that intermediate calculations were made with rounded figures, and that
 may explain explain the discrepancy. I need to verify my paper & pencil
 calculations again before I can say that conclusively.
