I uploaded the promised replacement, and even announced it, but
only in the proprietary repository--thus:

   Rectify anomalous rate table
    
    See:

    Use with the same lmi commit specified in the last proprietary commit,
    and with this new file...
    
    https://download.sv.gnu.org/releases/lmi/lmi-data-20220511T0107Z.tar.bz2
    
    [if it doesn't redirect automatically, change "sv" to "savannah"]
    
    ...extracted with a command such as...
    
      wine /opt/lmi/bin/rate_table_tool.exe \
        --accept --file=sample --extract-all
    
    ...run in /opt/lmi/data/ .

The "last proprietary commit" referred to above was:

    Make two comparisons work even for x87
    
    Use with lmi commit d250bccb2 . Do not update 'sample.{dat,ndx} yet.

The new archive omits some obsolete files that were in the old,
like *.{db4,pol,tir} and maybe a couple other three-letter extensions.
