I think this bug might have the same root cause as bug 5565.  It was reduced
from completely different code and I don't really understand the root cause of
either very well, though, so I'm filing a separate bug report in case I'm
wrong.  Even if it is related to 5565, this test case is simpler.

import std.math, std.stdio;

double fun(ulong k, ulong n, double p) {
    return pow(1.0 - p,  cast(double) n);
}

void main() {
    // Should print 0.8 ^ 10 = 0.1073741824.  Prints 0.956352.
    writeln(fun(0, 10, 0.2));
}
