When executing this calculation on version 0.9.7, the program crashes with cln::floating_point_underflow_exception.
exp(-1.1eV/(boltzmann*300K))

Seems somewhat related to bug 1630097, but in this case the value inside exp() is just -42.5. It also works if the calculation is done in two phases.

Backtrace follows:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'cln::floating_point_underflow_exception'
what(): floating point underflow.

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

    I can reproduce. Should be fixed.

    If the sign is changed to positive i.e. ("exp(32*meV/(boltzmann*78K))") qalc crashes with a cln::floating_point_overflow_exception.

    terminate called after throwing an instance of 'cln::floating_point_overflow_exception'
    what(): floating point overflow.

    Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
