Abstract
The author presents corrections to his original paper (see ibid., vol.35, no.2, p.389-400, 1989). The corrections concern computational cases using the steepest descent integration technique. It is pointed out that, for certain specific parameter ranges, the calculation error is too large to be accounted for by accumulated round-off error
