[Rivet] Problem with Rivet LEP Four Jet Analysis

In addition to what Hendrik pointed out: Do you happen to be using *all* 
particles in your internal analysis, or only the charged particles?
I also saw discrepancies between my own implementation of this analysis 
and the Rivet one, and it turned out to be important to restrict your 
analysis to charged particles only. Rivet uses charged particles and from 
what I've been told by the author of the analysis this is what it should 
be like.
