Comment (by johnmaddock):

 Actually the first case returns infinity "by accident", so they're both
 buggy - they should be raising an overflow_error instead.  Fixed in
 https://github.com/boostorg/math/commit/ee8edd4c335c3592b0585ddcf623d739defc1fa3.


 Note that the default behaviour is now for these cases to throw a
 std::overflow_error, if you want them to return infinity instead then
 you'll need to change the policy defaults, for example as in
 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/math/doc/html/math_toolkit/pol_ref/policy_defaults.html
