With APW+lo, such relatively small QTL-B are allowed, as told already
several times on this mailing list.
To the authors: wouldn't it be good to adapt (or even delete) this
ghost-band example in the UG? It seems it attracts too much attention
now, while the problem almost never happens any more. Also the FAQ
could list a QTL-B item, telling also when *not* to worry.
