18. A corrected estimate of the number of background events expected in the E787 data sample due to a reevaluation of the beam background is presented here.
19. Additional information on the confidence levels are available at http://www.phy.bnl.gov/e949/E949Archive/.
20. The value (0.02%) quoted in Ref. [5] for the probability that the observation of two events was due entirely to background was incorrect due to insufficient precision in the calculation.
