New submission from Whitequill Riclo <theguild42 at gmail.com>:
I have found that when doing the calculation when running:
pow(1 + 1/100000000000000, 100000000000000) = 2.716110034087023
pow(1 + 1/1000000000000000, 1000000000000000) = 3.03503520654962
This is incorrect as the following is a well known way to calculate Euler's number.
I do not know what component is the cause so I just picked one.
