Interestingly, if you go back to the HP-45 and TI-30, it appears the HP fudges it, but the TI doesn't!

HP 45:
Pi/2 = 1.570796327
tan(Pi/2) = 9.999999999E99 (the overflow display on the HP-45)

TI 30:
Pi/2 = 1.5707963268
tan(Pi/2) = 1.8312E09
tan(1.570796327) = 2.9298E09 (using the HP version of Pi/2)
