22. Owing to a conversion error, the values of the coexistence chemical potentials quoted in Ref. [4] were displaced from their true value by ln 2. Figure 1 corrects that error.

26. Singularities are expected to occur in certain derivatives of the phase boundary locus at a critical end point [4]. While not readily visible in the data of Fig. 6, clear signatures of their presence can be found by numerical differentiation.
