3100,boost::math::binomial_coefficient causes  Aborted (core dumped),jhair.tocancipa@…,John Maddock,"The following program:

//---
#include <boost/math/special_functions/binomial.hpp>

int main ()
{
  boost::math::binomial_coefficient<int>(6, 2);

causes:

  what():  bad lexical cast: source type value could not be interpreted as target
