Comment (by johnmaddock):

 Oh dear!

 This looks to be a systematic error through all the distributions.

 Paul - looks like we need to:

 * Check all the distributions.
 * Add tests for all possible domain errors (including those pesky NaN's -
 when std::numeric_limits<T>::has_quiet_NaN is true) for all the distros.
