  // *IMPORTANT*
  // 
  // Before revision 43711 of AliFMDReconstructor, all strips with no
  // signal where set to kInvalidMult.  From revision 43711 (Release
  // 4-19-Rev-09) empty strips that are not marked as bad have a
  // signal of 0 (zero).  That means, that for any reconstruction done
  // with releases prior to 4-19-Rev-09 this flag _must_ be defined as
  // true. 
  // 
  // The unfortunate side effect mentioned above is especially cruel
  // in this case, since we would benefit a lot from this setting for
  // that data.  However, one can add dead strips here using
  // AliFMDSharingFilter::AddDeadStrip or
  // AliFMDSharingFilter::AddDeadRegion to remedy the situation, since
  // strips added explicitly here are always ignored.  In the future,
  // the acceptance maker script should generate the list
  // automaticallu.
