The problem seems to be that 0^(1/2) does give an error instead of zero (the correct result), same for 0^0.1 and some other variants with 0^... I can confirm this bug on Natty. gcalctool seems to use the equality a^b = e^(ln(a) * b) to calculate the result, which fails for a=0.
Could you report this bug in the upstream bug tracker (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gcalctool ) and link the bug report here?
