An unintended consequence of deg_to_dms patch to fix 40-seconds bug, 60-seconds bug is shifted away.
Now, user need to input 16+ decimals to hit the display bug.

Example: angle = 2.05 degrees, X = 2.049999 ...

Pekis DEG->DMS(X) = 2.0259999 ... (Hit 60 seconds display bug)
My deg_to_dms(X) = 2.030000 ... (display bug shifted down, to 2.04999 99999 99999 degree)

So, the patch is Buy 1, Get 1 Free
