Summary:
In Microsoft C versions 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0ax, if you try to
calculate tan(pi/2), which in fact is not defined, tan() will return a
value. This value is not large. This is a precision limitation.
Because you are constrained to work in single or double precision
accuracy, it isn't possible to specify a value close enough to the
true value of pi/2 so that tan(X) overflows.
