incorrect type in gpow(0,n) (t_VEC) 

Hi,
I've noticed recently that something like [1,2,3]^[2] works fine, whereas if any element is zero I get an error: 

? [0,2,3]^[2]
  ***   at top-level: [0,2,3]^[2]
  ***                        ^----
  *** _^_: incorrect type in gpow(0,n) (t_VEC).
  ***   Break loop: type 'break' to go back to GP prompt

Is there a work around for this?
As background I need to perform sqrt(vecsum(x^[2])) so maybe there is a better way of obtaining the same result. 

I'm using version 2.7.2 under 64 bit linux.


Regards,

Kevin.
