I think you meant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]

As written, the result is 5.99211e21
which doesn't start with a 3 (a dead giveaway that something is wrong).
It also is real rather than an extended integer - because monadic ^
necessarily always produces irrational results for any finite parameters
other than 0, forcing a conversion to real.
