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?)
