Function bcpow is supposed to work with arbitrary precision
numbers. However, it seems to treat its second argument
as an integer.
E.g.
echo bcpow(256,0.5);
echo bcpow(256,0.99);
both produce 1. It seems that the second argument is
truncated down to integer value. Either this is a
"feature" and documentation must be changed or it is
a bug of either Windows version or even other versions
of BCMath/PHP.
bcpow(0.5,2); produces 0.25, which is all right.
