[Users] **large** amplitude changes in WFs from Curie "bbh" parfiles when run in ET_2012_05

[Kelly, Bernard J. (GSFC-660.0)[UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND BALTIMORE COUNTY]]

Hi. This may be related to something Yosef brought up back in July
["Differences in results ..." from 26 July], but I'm seeing sizable
differences in WF amplitudes from Multipole when running the parameter
files for the ETK paper (Loeffler et al.).

Specifically, if I take the parameter file

<Cactus>/par/arXiv:1111.3344/bbh/BBHMedHRes.par

... and run it with a Curie (ET_2011_05) executable, my r=30M (2,2) mode
has a peak magnitude of just above 0.0027. Rerunning the same parameter
file with *no* changes, using the current release, Lovelace (ET_2012_05),
the same peak amplitude is just above 0.00257 -- a drop of almost 5%.

Can anyone tell me what might be going wrong? Is there some kind of change
in default dissipation that could explain such a large discrepancy? Does
anyone have a drop-in replacement for these parameter files that will
actually match the *results* from the Curie executable?

Thanks,

Bernard
