No surprise: the mean value is negative.
Probably, one needs to restrict this parameter to the range [1,3].

If you loose too much time with this fit and the evaluation of the
systematic error on BRBR please concentrate on the rest of the talk 
first and let's see if it can be included later on.

Cheers,
Heiko
