queryparser test does not always pass...

[Peter Kelm]

On my machine I sometimes get failure messages when running queryparsertest. It seems that the "qp_scale1" result varies with processor load.

This is what I got when running the test ten times in a row (five passes, five failures):

Ah, there's a typo in some new code which nobody's tested on MS Windows so far. Should be fixed in trunk r12668.
