Hello,

I'm a new to scipy and wanted to compute ellipse arc length using 
ellipkinc. For some values i get buggy results :

>>> scipy.special.ellipkinc(2.167539474012470, 0.78698224852071)
3.3429097806972523

=> ok

>>> scipy.special.ellipkinc(2.1675394740124701, 0.78698224852071)
2.2286065204648353

=> nok; btw that value is close to :

>>> scipy.special.ellipkinc(math.pi/2, 0.7869822485207)
2.2286065204648144

I'm trying this on debian and ubuntu's version 0.7.2, 64bits
