Description Sean Proctor 2014-04-14 13:36:09 UTC 
0.0001^0.00005 gives the error message:

*** ABS (N) TOO LARGE IN CALL TO ROOT ***

The result is around 0.9995395890030878 as given by a couple of different calculators.

I don't think that's a strange equation to solve. The maximum root size of 10,000 seems a bit arbitrarily low.

Sean,

Thank you for the bug report.

The issue has been fixed in master branch. The Calculator now generates correct answer for large root size.

Hope this helps.. :)
