Yes, I have to admit that I hadn't looked at your plots yet when I wrote 
this. The differences I saw where much more subtle, but still noticeable. 
I can't confirm that the trunk version of this analysis is broken (see 
attached plot for a rough idea of what Sherpa looks like compared to the 
Durham cos(a34) from Rivet trunk). I'll check whether there is a 
difference to 1.1.3 though.
