If it were really necessary, you would have to move to multiple
precision. The gmp R package doesn't seem to yet cover this, but FMLIB
(TOMS814, DM Smith) is a multiple precision f90 library that does
include the incomplete beta -- it allows one to say for F(1,7025)=39540,
P=6.31E-2886 (evaluated using 200 sign. digit arithmetic). Results from
R's pf() agree quite closely with the FMLIB results for less extreme values
eg
> print(pf(1500,1,7025,lower=FALSE), digits=20)
