  the result is different, one crashes my machine the other does not (the
one that doesn't crash my machine is math.h).

Here are the two code fragments:
#include <math.h>
int main() {
     double powertest = pow(2., 0);
}

#include <cmath>
int main() {
     double powertest = pow(2., 0);
}

I only have one libm.a file (/usr/lib) Should there be a new libm.a that I
need to compile or something?
