Dear Kay,

   You are right.  I had forgotten the normalization part of the CC
calculation.

Most implementations would either crash with a divide-by-zero error, or (if they catch the problem) give a correlation of zero. The latter is sensible because the correlation is invariant to adding an offset to one (or both) of the variables that are compared.
