 *  DESCRIPTION
 *
 *    Computes the log of the error term in Stirling's formula.
 *      For n > 15, uses the series 1/12n - 1/360n^3 + ...
 *      For n <=15, integers or half-integers, uses stored values.
 *      For other n < 15, uses lgamma directly (don't use this to
 *        write lgamma!)
 *
 * Merge in to R:
 * Copyright (C) 2000, The R Core Team
 * R has lgammafn, and lgamma is not part of ISO C
