Are you sure you aren't comparing the results from an older
version of PSPP (that uses the old idf_beta() code I wrote) against
a newer version (that uses Jason's gsl_cdf_beta_Pinv())? The
older code is not as good; Jason knows a lot more about this
stuff than I do.
Among other changes, the older version would have
src/expressions/operations.def version 1.4; the newer version
would have version 1.5.
