Works for me. No idea how to fix this, since it probably is compiler 
specific.

On the other hand, that's pretty close to a zero of Iv, where there is 
cancellation error (since v < 0 we use a reflection identity), so it's 
probably a difficult spot anyway.

Maybe the treshold could be made platform-dependent -- I wouldn't like to 
bump it if it fails only on a single platform/compiler combination.
