Fixed Release: 
Error message: 


Example of code trigerring the bug: 

0^0

Internal cause: 

The reason for 0^0 giving 1 is that axiom uses the lisp function expt for exponentiation of integers, which returns 1 (which is in line with the common lisp hyperspec)

Sat 12 Jun 2004 05:20:11 PM UTC, original submission:  

mathematically speaking, 0^0 should be undefined. However, in axiom there are different kinds of 0^0, depending on the type of 0:

(1) -> 0^0
   (1)  1 Type: PositiveInteger
(2) -> 0^0.0
   >> Error detected within library code:
   0**0 is undefined

protected-symbol-warn called with (NIL)
(2) -> 0.0^0
   (2)  1.0 Type: Float
(3) -> 0.0^0.0
    >> Error detected within library code:
   0**0 is undefined

protected-symbol-warn called with (NIL)
