Hm, it won't help your sanity to know that those cases pass fine
for me, interactively, on a couple of different machines:
$ psql postgres
psql (11devel)
Type "help" for help.
postgres=# select 0.12 ^ (-25);
?column?
-------------------------------------------
104825960103961013959336.4983657883169110
(1 row)
postgres=# select 0.5678 ^ (-85);
?column?
----------------------------------------
782333637740774446257.7719390061997396
(1 row)
You sure you're using a stock build of Postgres? No handmade
versions of operator ^ lying around?
