This function erroneously negates its return values for some specific
arguments.
Specifically when
a is a negative integer
b = -.5
The return value is incorrect. Presumably this is due to special case
handling in the function as for negative integral a the 1F1
hypergeometric function reduces to a Laguerre polynomial.
This error can also be seen by plotting the function value versus a,
and noticing a discontinuity at negative integer values.
