Error with non_central_chi_squared::find_degrees_of_freedom when running with Valgrind

[stla]

Hello,

I ported the function non_central_chi_squared::find_degrees_of_freedom to a R package. My R-C++ function is just:

double find_chisq_df(double delta, double q, double p){
  // gives nu such that pchisq(q, nu, delta) = p
  return non_central_chi_squared::find_degrees_of_freedom(delta, q, p);
}

When an example is executed under Valgrind, this error is generated:

Error in function boost::math::non_central_chi_squared_distribution<long double>::non_central_chi_squared_distribution(long double,long double): Degrees of freedom argument is -nan, but must be > 0 !

Would you have an idea of the cause? I'm really not fluent in C++.
