Bug#670459: gcalctool: sin(pi/2) =0.027412134 instead of 1

Package: gcalctool
Version: 5.30.2-2
Severity: important

as stated it doesn't calculate the value properly. I dont' know if this is due
to a rounding error, which doesn't seem likely since R, and Wolfram Alpha both
seem to do it just fine. Even PHP calculates it just fine. I've not tried other
implementations but it's clearly something wrong with the way it handles the
value of PI.
