Both looked fine. First value in .mincost is .45

two ways:

1. run tkregister-sess to visually check them
2. look at the first value in register.dof6.dat.mincost. It is hard to
say what a threshold is for a good registration, but typical values are
about .5 or so. If it is .8 or more, it is probably a problem (and
probably the initialization is not good)
