This result may indicate that it's the *printing* of long doubles that's
broken. Note how the value cast as double prints the correct result,
whereas the %Lg format code gives something wrong.
Can you try to check this by doing something like:
- do some set of calculations using np.longdouble in Numpy
(that requires the extra accuracy)
- at the end, cast the result back to double
