Comment:

 Yes you're correct, fixed in Git develop.

 However, note that:

 * This is an internal undocumented function and,
 * The gamma functions only ever call this function for with a negative
 argument so they are unaffected.

 If you want a similar/documented function, try sin_pi and cos_pi:
