Hi all,

For a bit of light relief I figured it would be fun to make an ssh  
client in Erlang. I figured that with such good bignum support it  
wouldn't be too tricky. So. has anyone any good ideas how to calculate:

2^1292065245826370511117936813749663282546492063092432089491783276644646 
6504617309746646057975239671809

without a badarith error?

Tried so far:

math:pow(2, Big_num).   % Ha Ha!

1 bsl Bignum.  % I had hopes for this one..

Thanks,

Sean
