  The newly published top mass prediction of 85.1 GeV conflicts with indirect
limits on the top mass, based on precision measurements interpreted by
calculations using dimensional regularization. The top quark contribution to
part of the electroweak W and Z vacuum polarization tensor is recomputed using
the symmetrical theory of generalised functions. The squared top mass
coefficient is larger by a factor 1.44. The indirect limits on the top mass
based on this computation should therefore be divided by 1.2. Further
recomputation and data analysis is needed.
