Description
Stan's log cdfs just take the log of the linear cdf, so they're prone to underflow to -infinity after the cdc underflows to 0 or rounds to 1.
The R implementation of log cdfs is more stable, e.g.,
> pnorm(-50, log=TRUE)

We should be able to borrow an implementation from R or from SciPy.
