I run into a fundamental problem when I use it - I can't reproduce the
reported problem. I get the following:

A value = 18710

Did you make sure that you could duplicate the reported problem with
this version of the code?

If it abends on your system, and completes on mine, it's possible that
your code has a portability problem that I could figure out with a code
review, but that kind of thing is much harder to track down than a
reproducible error condition.

You don't have to write the entire pow() function, just a wrapper named
my_pow() which validates the arguments before passing them on to pow().

If you're certain that it's pow() that's the problem, create a wrapper
for pow() that prints out the arguments being passed to pow(), and then
call fflush(stdout). Change your code to call the wrapper function, and
you'll know what values they had just before your abend occurred.
