Summary: Wrong lambda in BermudanSwaption example

Initial Comment:
The lambda of 0.25 used in BermudanSwaption example

is too high compared to the carachteristic length of the

parameters to fit. This may lead to unsuccesful

calibrations in some particular situations, like the

calibration of a 1-dim HullWhite model with the alpha

being constant.

A better value is 0.05.

Appearently, there are no cases of wrong calibrations

with the "official" HullWhite model (but... who knows?)
