This C code tests cosine and sine values for large angles.

I use the eglibc 2.19 installed on ubuntu Trusty 14.04.
 
With this version of eglibc, the library libm computes wrong cosine and sine for large enough angles (error on sign).

For example, sin(2*pi*0.27*7390843) and sin(2*pi*2.27*7390843) should give the same result but :

  sin(2*pi*0.27*7390843)         =  -0.63742399  OK
  sin(2*pi*2.27*7390843)         =   0.63742398  KO

The result should be the same because :
  (2*pi*2.27*7390843) % 2*pi = 2*pi*0.27*7390843.

Another example :

  cos(2*pi*0.27*7390879)         =  -0.48175367  OK
  cos(2*pi*2.27*7390879)         =   0.48175367  KO

This bug does not occur with 2.18 or previous version of eglibc.

I reproduce the bug with the last compiled git version then it is not a problem from ubuntu. With the 2.18 git version, there is no bug.
