[geotk] Question about behaviour of geotoolkit version 3.19

[Cemernek, David]

Dear geotoolkit developers!

My name is David Cemernek and I am working for the company Infonova. We are using the geotoolkit (version 3.19) in one of our projects for calculating distances between locations.
For a pair of locations, we get an exception while calculating the distance for these two locations. I am sorry to bother you but I downloaded the source code of geotoolkit and I do not know why the attached program is producing an exception.

Program to reproduce error: TestGeotoolkit.java (also with .txt ending in case an antivirus software deletes it :)
Output of the program: Output_TestGeotoolkit.txt

Due to that fact I don't know what the loop in line 1062 is actually doing, I don't want to open an Jira issue, because I don't know why this exception is thrown when the loop runs more than 12 times? Because I think that the distance between the given source and target location is below 20.000 km, and there for should be correct (or is the max distance in the used ellipsoid below this limit?)

I hope you can help me.

Yours sincerely, David
