This reminds me of the issue that I found while reviewing
Boost.Multiprecision back in 2012:

https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2012/06/193862.php

I did track that down and it was fixed, but in the process
of investigating I got a poor impression of the implementation
of the library and I felt that other similar issues were
probably present. In my review, I said that I would not
be confident using Boost.Multiprecision without verifying
its answers against another implementation. Of course that's
a decade ago and things may have changed - or not.
