The GFLOATING exponentiation routine uses an incorrect method of
getting the exponent of the magnitude of certain intermediate
GFLOATING numbers. A MOVM on the first word of the double word
value is used followed by stripping out the exponent field.
This does not work for all negative GFLOATING numbers where the
mantissa part in the first word is all zero (the first
non-zero bit of the mantissa is in the second word). Due to the
fact that these errors occur in an intermediate calculation,
it is impossible to specify the class of input numbers which
will result in this problem.
