  double GetSCtdc_left(int i=0) {
    return 0.5*(Det->tof[0][i].tdc[0] + Det->tof[0][i].tdc[1]); }
  double GetSCtdc_right(int i=0) {
    return 0.5*(Det->tof[1][i].tdc[0] + Det->tof[1][i].tdc[1]); }

we have the * 0.5 !

the current BlastLib2 on dblast07 has the v2_5_fixes branch

save a copy of your current BlastLib2 and from your
cvs directory then do

cvs up -d -r v2_5_fixes BlastLib2

however v2_5 is just as fine (changes are minimal and do not affect
you)
