cosFix16 inaccuracy

So I seem to get very inaccurate results using the SGDK cos/sin tables. For instance this is what I see:

regular C function:
cos(180) = -0.593

SGDK function:
cosFix16(180) = 0.453

What's the deal with the different values?

The input is NOT degrees, it's 2pi / 1024. So 180 would be 512, not 180. That's in the include file (math.h).

Doh, of course! It pays to read the descriptions, I must have glossed right over it.
