Comment (by pbristow):

 Fixed in boost trunk at
 https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/boost/math/distributions/logistic.hpp


 (you could download this version).

 SVN commit 87950

 but I am still puzzled why the checks in the distribution object
 constructor didn't catch these tests.

 Did you change the default policy (from 'to throw exception') to ignore
 errors?

 Did you use try'n'catch blocks so that the error messages appear?  (as
 always recommended).

 Did you get the same in debug and release (optimised) version?

 Should make boost release 1.55.
