 I'm guessing these are all related and have something to do with overflow:

 {{{
 In [1]: import numpy

 In [2]: p=1e-13

 In [3]: numpy.random.geometric(p)
 Out[3]: -2147483648

 In [4]: numpy.random.poisson((1-p)/p)
 Out[4]: -2147483648

 In [5]: numpy.random.negative_binomial(1,p)
 Out[5]: -2147483648
 }}}
