Got some negative values of MSGFScore in the output file when using ".mgf" file

[Sweetsour-crap]

I happened to get some negative values of MSGFScore in the output file when running MS-GF+ with ".mgf" file, I don't know the meaning of these negative values or they are just some bugs of the output.

The complete output file is: mgf_output.txt I changed it into .txt file for upload.
