REVISION SUMMARY
  The runner calculator isn't entitled for being a scientifically correct calculator.
  This keeps seemingly innocent calculations such as "2^0.333333333" from eating all RAM until it crashes.
  
  BUG: 277011
  FIXED-IN: 5.9.1

TEST PLAN
  Upstream issue https://github.com/Qalculate/libqalculate/issues/16
  
  I'll also investigate how to have krunner cancel calculations once the runner context becomes invalid.

REPOSITORY
  R120 Plasma Workspace
