Apparently inconsistent behaviour of the BesselJ() function.

Examples: BesselJ(-3, 0)  ... gives 0 (correct)

but BesselJ(-3.0, 0), BesselJ(-3, 0.0)  and BesselJ(-3, 0.0) all give Float(infinity) (wrong! - should be 0.0)

The problem seems to occur for all negative integer values of the first argument (the order) when the second argument is 0 or 0.0.
