Math.pow() seems to be broken in patchset 8. Briefly, raising any positive number to any power (with very few exceptions) returns a zero. Running the same exact code on patchset 7 works fine. See the bug report for details. Unfortunately for us, we noticed this bug due to incorrect totals in our monthly billing cycle. We ended up under-billing by several thousands of dollars. At least we didn't over-bill. :) -- Milo Hyson CyberLife Labs P.S. The moral of this story is always have an auditing team check your billing reports. They saved our ass this time.
