[Bug-gsl] Trascendental funtion (a check suggested by Monniaux)

Hallo GSL team,

I am studying the GSL with the goal of learning to avoid pitfall in computer 
science.
I found a very nice article by Monniaux on the arxiv server cs/0701192 and on 
page 18
I found a very nice check of the sinus function.

y=sin(14885392687.0)

I wrote a very small program, and I got the wrong result

y=1.48E-10

I am using gsl 1.11 on Debian 5.0.x 64bit.
Maybe you already corrected this.
Neverthless I report it anyway since, due to cross-dependecies, 
it seems problematic for me to remove gsl from my system, and upgrade.

Last but not least:
Thanks for your fine piece of software.


Cheers
Luciano Ribichini
