The  double __p  also fixes an infinite (maybe) loop in both
binomial_distribution(100, .75) and binomial_distribution(100, .25)
when _GLIBCXX_USE_C99_MATH_TR1 is defined.

I guess the proper way to test the algorithms is to generate a lot of
values and do a Pearson's chi-square test to check that the distribution
is correct. Then that can be used to make a faster testcase for just a
few values.
