Is that not pretty well handled by the pd trig library, donated by the 
South American who died shortly after pd-ing his code in the rainbow?
I've used that library extensively and its at least as good as my 
TI-51 in terms of accuracy of the stuff I actually checked.  It gives 
a 1 byte exponent, and enough of a mantissa that answers to the 16th 
digit, sometimes the 17th, can be obtained via a suitable printf 
statement.

This also has the advantage of not being radisys's code.
