Hi Urs,
my approach has been to make sure that the Ks bug removed and the no ks
bug removed MC look the same as far as rate and spectra are concerned. I
was expecting to make a rescaling, but when I did the comparison, I found
out that a killing is enough.

The reaction of the neutral group has been that we should just throw away
that MC. Once we have the full sample of generic we will be able to do so,
so I would keep this fix that works (Fabio confirmed it in b->s gamma)
waiting for the generic to be fully processed.
	ciao
