Exponentiation of a negative number returns invalid result #68

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 6

Attempts to calculate the exponent of a negative number returns "NaN"
instead of the real result.  For example, the expression:

(5-7)^2

returns "NaN" instead of the expected "4".

This was observed on versions 0.7 beta under Windows XP and 0.6 beta under
Kubuntu.
