but as Prof Ripley has said much earlier in this thread :

Why don't you use the C version from R's source?  R is Open Source !!

R's version (of the *four* most common Bessel functions) stems
from the  Netlib "Specfun" collection, 
was ported to C by me and has been slightly fixed more than once
AFAIR.
