There are some errors in Figures 3 and 5 and some quantities given in the text of our original paper.
In Figure 3, the left panel of the second row is incorrect. The correct Figure 3 is given below.
In Figure 5, the left panel of the top row is incorrect. The correct Figure 5 is given below.
In addition, some probabilities were incorrectly presented. The corrections to these probabilities are as follows.
In § 6, paragraph 7, the phrase ``where one finds that the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis is P<<0.001'' should be replaced by ``where one finds that the probability of the statistic χ2 being larger than the value provided is P<<0.001.''
In § 6, paragraph 9, the fourth and fifth sentences should be replaced by ``Taking 1308 as the number of degrees of freedom, we find the corresponding probability of the statistic χ2 being larger than 1281 to be P=0.302, indicating that in this situation no conclusions could be reached in terms of statistics. It shows that the goodness of fit owes much to the smoothness of data (note that the smoothness of data itself does not guarantee the goodness of fit without introducing a proper curve for the fit).''
In § 6, paragraph 11, the second sentence should be replaced by ``We find for GRB 951102B and GRB 920925 that the probability of the statistic χ2 being larger than the value provided is P<0.001, while for the other three bursts the probability is P<<0.001.''
In § 7, paragraph 3, the fifth sentence ``The probability is P=0.00191'' should be replaced by ``The probability is P=0.999.''
The main conclusions of the paper are not affected by these corrections.
