So now the problem can be how these large numbers are obtained
<br>
--> a=1e16+1 <br>
--> a-1e16 <br>
of course equals zero. <br>

Yes, I've thought about it and you are right, above 1e16 x is so
sparse, cycle-wise speaking, that my original intention doesn't
make much sense. <br>

<p>Sorry: all trigonometric functions are supported. I have just
missed the dedicated section where they are addressed.<br>
