Since we can't support a complete poissonian disribution for values on the order and greater than LONG_MAX, we simply return the expected value for these very large expected values.

What if lambda itself exceeds the maximum value than can be held in a long? Maybe an error needs to be raised somewhere, although I don't see how, there is no error return available. There is a small logic error also. I think this patch needs a bit of work still. |

I've fixed the logic error in and added in error checking (inside mtrand.pyx). I'll issue a new pull request... |

This patch causes rk_poisson to simply return the mean value of the Poissonian when the distribution cannot be supported by the high-order bits of the long integer type. This patch simply checks whether the mean value is less than LONG_MAX - 10 * sqrt(LONG_MAX) before actually generating a random deviate. This ensures that at least 20*sigma (sigma=sqrt(mean value)) of width for the distribution--this should be plenty of width.
