5. The melting temperatures given in [2,3] are 8 to 13 K too high, due to a malfunction of the temperature compensation of the electronic circuit reading the thermocouple for the thermalization cell. Corrected data are given in [4] and are posted at http://www.fmf.uni-freiburg.de/projekte/pg_cluster/projekt_cluster/ haberland.html.
