Thank you for this bug report.  The problem has been reported upstream
to the gcalctool developers:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=571007.   This is a bug that
really needs to be fixed by these upstream developers, unless somebody
has a patch for it.

This message has been forwarded upstream:
Tan(90) is technically undefined (Though conceptually one usually thinks of it 
as infinity).  When you enter Tan(90) into gcalctool you get 
Tan(90°)=-8.618206661e+214 which is a finite number.  Though I understand a 
number of this magnitude in practice, is though of as infinite, it would be 
nice if the calculator returned the correct answer.


** Changed in: gcalctool (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed
