	I posted this to comp.sys.sgi but it appears to have disappeared with
the creation of these new groups, so here goes again.

	I seem to have encountered a compiler bug for SGI's f77 compiler.
I used the line of code


	QROT=DPROD(TREF,1./TEMP)**XK

where TREF=273.15, TEMP =304., and XK=1.50.  The resulting value for
QROT is identically 0.000000.  TREF, TEMP, and XK are declared REAL and
QROT is declared DOUBLE PRECISION.
	If I break the code up so

	
	QROT=DPROD(TREF,1./TEMP)
        QROT=QROT**XK

I get the right answer of QROT=0.85...

	This looks like a compiler bug to me.  Any comments?
