The manual: 

   Any zero parameter causes 0 to be returned.

...

This is simply wrong.

Agreed. This is a mistake. I'll submit a ticket for it. In future, this function will return a value greater than zero when we have a GCD, and 0 when the input values cannot have a GCD (eg. gcd(0,0))

In general, gcd(0, X) will return floor(abs(X))
