QZ Ser superhump period

   We have received further observations from Pavol A. Dubovsky.
The superhump period has become stabilized at 0.08557(13) d.
The fractional superhump excess is 2.9%.  The corresponding
mass ratio is 0.15.  This value is in agreement with the estimate
of M2=0.125 in Thorstensen et al. (2002), who suggested a less
massive secondary than ordinary CVs.
