Hello Brian,

I am using gsl 1.8. Thank you very much for inform me about the gsl_ran_gamma update in 1.9.

Hello,

Can you check what version of GSL are you using? We switched to the
Marsaglia Tsang algorithm for gsl_ran_gamma in version 1.9, and it
should not have this problem. I will apply your fix to the old
version of the function though, thanks.
