[CM] error in jcvoi.ins

Who knows if anyone is using this instrument, but I just wanted to 
point out what I think is an error in the formant data table in CLMs 
jcvoi.ins

The line:

(setf (aref fnc 2 5 1 1) (flipxy '(175   16.5  262  24.5 392 32.7 
523 49.0  784 65.41  1046  98 1568 130.8)))

should probably read:

(setf (aref fnc 2 5 1 1) (flipxy '( 33   16.5  33   24.5  33 32.7  49 
49.0  65  65.41    98  98 131 130.8)))


This specifies a breakpoint function for the center of the first 
formant for a male voice. On the 5th vowel the x values (fundamental 
frequency) appear to be for the male voice, but the y values (formant 
position) appear to be for the female voice.

I'm not exactly sure what vowel table index 5 refers to and I haven't 
checked the data. It still sounds a bit strange for the male voice. 
Perhaps someone who knows the history of this instrument can comment.
