Some follow-up on the rare (but annoying) false WSPR decodes...

I decided to look especially at the 15 files in the wspr_data.tgz 
package that produced a false decode (one containing "/") in *any* of 
your test cases.  The files are:

150426_0114.wav
150426_0148.wav
150426_0342.wav
150426_0512.wav
150426_0526.wav
150426_0530.wav
150426_0534.wav
150426_0540.wav
150426_0614.wav
150426_0616.wav
150426_0654.wav
150426_0704.wav
150426_0746.wav
150426_0856.wav
150426_1400.wav

On these files I ran test cases like yours, plus two more, with the 
following results:

    Command                         T   B   G  time
-----------------------------------------------------------
1. wsprd                          125  2  123  25 s
2. wsprd_exp                      126 13  113  29
3. wsprd_exp -J -C 5000           115  3  112  30
4. wsprd_exp -J -C 5000 -z 0.5    112  0  112  30
5. wsprd_exp -z 0.5               113  1  112  30
6. wsprd5000                      120  0  120  23
7. wsprd -z 0.5                   119  0  119  26

T = total decodes
B = bad decodes
G = good decodes

Case #6 used a re-compiled wsprd with maxcycles=5000.

On these files, at least, it seems that the best performer is the 
deafult wsprd, Case #1: 123 good decodes, 2 false decodes.  With 
maxcycles=5000 (Case #6) it yields 120 good decodes and 0 false decodes. 
  With bias=0.5 (Case #7) it gives 119 good decodes and 0 false decodes.

Seems to me we should probably go back to bias=0.5, and possibly reduce 
maxcycles a bit.
