Ouch. Good catch. Here is what happened: I reduced 1-exp(x) to -expm1(x) which is actual wrong for x=0 because the results will be differently signed zeros. I should have reduced 1-exp(x) to 0-expm1(x). In light of this, any use of R_DT_qIv and R_DT_CIv might have the same problem. (But, quite frankly, all uses of R_DT_qIv should be eliminated anyway. Only qnorm seems to be using it without killing the right-tail and the log cases.)
