[issue41458] Avoid overflow/underflow in math.prod()

[Raymond Hettinger]

IIRC, both Factor and Julia use pairwise multiplication.  I'm guessing that the reason is that if you have an associative-reduce higher order function, you tend to use it everywhere even in cases where the benefits are negligible ;-)
