92. The puzzles found by Stancu in the second paper of Ref. [26] are resolved by the wavefunction-renormalization condition of Ref. [19]. The mass relation is only slightly modified from the Gaussian-approximation result. (J. F. Reed, private communication)
93. Actually, for non-zero gauge coupling the theory is presumably no longer "trivial," so this "exact" formula should only be truly exact at the two ends; i.e., when y → 0
