Possible error in bc

[Dean Allen Provins]

Hello:

I use "bc" moderately frequently, and find it very useful.

Recently, when calculating some larger numbers, I had occasion (in my
formulae) to compute 0^0 (i.e. zero tothe zero power).  This produced
the value 1 (one).

It was my understanding (and I checked my CRC math tables book, and
also tried gcc in a simple test) that 0^0 should be 0 (zero).  Thus I
believe that this is an error in "bc".

Regards,

Dean
