This is bug in Clean 2.1 on windows. The ^ function yields an incorrect
result if a negative number to the power of an even number is computed.
To fix this, you can download
http://www.cs.kun.nl/~clean/download/Clean21/windows/patch_power.zip
and replace 3 files inside the Libraries\StdEnv 2.1.0\Clean System Files
folder with the new ones in this .zip file.
