If possible, I'd like to fix this issue: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4504 for the final 1.44 release.
The fix is trivial: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset?reponame=&new=64597%40trunk%2Fboost%2Fmath%2Fspecial_functions%2Fdetail%2Ft_distribution_inv.hpp&old=59129%40trunk%2Fboost%2Fmath%2Fspecial_functions%2Fdetail%2Ft_distribution_inv.hpp but the actual bug manifests as a rather nasty numerical error. There's also a related patch to update the tests, which is slightly more risky in that it adds many new test cases: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset?reponame=&new=64597%40trunk%2Flibs%2Fmath%2Ftest%2Ftest_students_t.cpp&old=51576%40trunk%2Flibs%2Fmath%2Ftest%2Ftest_students_t.cpp.
Is it acceptable to merge these to release at this late stage?
Looks to me like this is a fix we want to have. Have the the trunk tests cycled? Beman, objections? -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
