cu is getting inaccurate values of cosine for numbers close to pi
This code under Solaris produces to correct output for Math.cos and Math.sin
in direct function calls or in a loop where call is placed to these funcitons.

On NT, after commenting out the loop section of the code, values of the return result from the Math.cos function is wrong after 5th position.

Solaris resluts:
for "wr" variabe in the code is consistent: 6.123233995736766E-17

NT results:
test1: without loop: C:\Test>java Ctest2
VICTIM CODE
l: 2 le: 4 le1: 2 pile1: 1.5707963267948966
 wr: 6.123233995736766E-17 wi: -1.0

test2: with loop
C:\Test>java Ctest2
VICTIM CODE
l: 2 le: 4 le1: 2 pile1: 1.5707963267948966
 wr: 6.123031769111886E-17 wi: -1.0
CRIMINAL CODE
l: 1 le: 2 le1: 1 pile1: 3.141592653589793
 wr: -1.0 wi: -1.2246063538223773E-16
l: 2 le: 4 le1: 2 pile1: 1.5707963267948966
 wr: 6.123031769111886E-17 wi: -1.0
