Bug Description

In the latest Hoary, the e^x button in gcalctool doesn't work.

I pressed [e^x], followed by a [1], which should return the value of e, i.e.,
2.71828..., but instead I get 14.
I try [e^x], [2], and this returns 196, which is just 14^2. It seems that e==14 (!)

Note that the constant e in the [Con] button is correctly valued and has nothing
to do with the above.
