Summary: Error in Svensson Fitting Formula

Initial Comment:
The zerorate calculation of the svensson discount function has an error:

109	        Real zeroRate = x[0] + (x[1] + x[2])*
110	                        (1.0 - std::exp(-kappa*t))/
111	                        ((kappa+QL_EPSILON)*(t+QL_EPSILON)) -
112	                        (x[2])*std::exp(-kappa*t) +
113	                        x[3]* (((1.0 - std::exp(-kappa*t))/((kappa_1+QL_EPSILON)*(t+QL_EPSILON)))- std::exp(-kappa_1*t));

in line 113 kappa is used instead of kappa_1

correct is this:
109	        Real zeroRate = x[0] + (x[1] + x[2])*
110	                        (1.0 - std::exp(-kappa*t))/
111	                        ((kappa+QL_EPSILON)*(t+QL_EPSILON)) -
112	                        (x[2])*std::exp(-kappa*t) +
113	                        x[3]* (((1.0 - std::exp(-kappa_1*t))/((kappa_1+QL_EPSILON)*(t+QL_EPSILON)))- std::exp(-kappa_1*t));
