Actually the previous explanation is completely bogus (I plead jet lag).
The problem is in handling 2-tailed p-values, which is done by looking for
the value in the opposite tail where the density is <= (1+1e-7) times the
observed density.  The problem is that the observed density is 0.

It should be possible just to change <= to <, possibly increasing the
fudge factor from 1e-7 but perhaps not.
