[Bug-gsl] error in gsl_ran_poisson

 Hi!
 I am using subroutine gsl_ran_poisson and I have found that for values of 
"mu" above 4e10,  the mean in a random generated sample is well below the 
expected mean. I know that for that values a gaussian approximation performs 
really good, but it is important to mention it, at least to mention it in the 
documentation if not to fix it.
 I am using gsl_rng_default as the random number generator (and no 
environmental variable).
 Thank you in advance and congratulations for doing this valuable piece of 
software!
 Enrique
