[New-bugs-announce] [issue15438] Incredible issue in math.pow

[andrea bergamini]

New submission from andrea bergamini <andrea.bergamini.it at gmail.com>:

math.pow(43, 10) gives the wrong result: 21611482313284248.0
Instead, the build-in function 43**10 and pow(43, 10) give the correct result: 21611482313284249L.
This bug has been seen on ActivePython 2.5.1.1. Sorry no tests on recent versions.
