levy.c doc unclear


The documentation in levy.c is messed up:

/* The stable Levy probability distributions have the form

   p(x) dx = (1/(2 pi)) \int dt exp(it(mu-x) - |ct|^alpha)

   with 0 < alpha <= 2
...
*/

I presume that by "alpha" is meant what is called "a" in the C function,
but what has happened to the parameter "c"?
