I tried, but file not found:

Well, in Maxima (gcl 2.5.0) it returns in 1.2 secs (1Ghz Athlon), though
displaying it takes far longer than that.  The first 100 digits agree
with bfloat, (234.0b0^234234, fpprec:100) and the last 30 agree with
modular exponentiation (rat(234)^234234,modulus:10^34), and a couple of
other cross-checks also agree, so I'm convinced it is giving the correct
result.
