Indeed it doesn't. Some probabilities are underflowing to zero. It is
informative to look at the estimates from
mantelhaen.test(round(x/s), exact=TRUE)
for various values of s. The estimate is stable at about 0.04 for
large s until s gets to just above 1.8, then quickly decreases to zero.
I think you need exact=FALSE for data sets this large.
