sincosf returns wrong results on interval (7*pi/4, 9*pi/4) #232

Using libm 0.2.0 / master a5e39d8f1ad2ad669e62565f98f1dc86ea5fed96, this simple test case exercising 2*pi symmetry:

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use libm::sincosf;

    fn d2r(d: f32) -> f32 {
        use std::f32::consts::PI;
        d * PI / 180.
    }

    #[test]
    fn test_sincosf() {
        assert_eq!(sincosf(d2r(330.)), sincosf(d2r(330. - 360.)));
    }
}

Fails (for non-limited-precision reasons), with the message:

---- tests::test_sincosf stdout ----
thread 'tests::test_sincosf' panicked at 'assertion failed: `(left == right)`
  left: `(0.86602545, -0.4999999)`,
 right: `(-0.5, 0.8660254)`', src/lib.rs:12:9

Precision issues aside, note that the sin/cos components are reversed.

Some quick binary searching shows that this condition persists across the interval of [316, 404] degrees, which is to say it appears to affect (7pi/4, 9pi/4) rad.
