Snafu - I had patched the file, but forgot to include it in the

I can do this, but... sleeping on it last night, I realised that I had 
not checked all of the code paths in the new functions.  When I checked 
them this morning I discovered that they were broken.  Ie sinl(), cosl() 
and tanl() all return incorrect values for certain, large, input values. 
 I tried to investigate, but the maths involved is beyond me, so I am 
going to have to shelve this patch until I have more time.  Sorry.

Cheers
