[cairo] Shouldn't Cairo use/offer degrees rather than radians?

[cecashon at aol.com]

Has anyone figured out a good explanation for this? I haven't been able to figure it out. It looks like the problem is tied to only one particular precision point. I don't know why that is. If I change the size of the surface, radius, y-point or even pi I get the same problem point. If I run with valgrind I get a different repetitive problem point. Maybe on some hardware this doesn't happen? I am testing on a Intel 32 bit Atom CPU N270 1.60GHz × 2 with Ubuntu16.04. This is my latest to try to figure out what is happening.
