RE: Torture tests: what do they mean?
To toss a spanner in the works a little. The 34S is getting the correctly rounded result for its precision.

Code:
    Formula                       Exact result                                                      16 digit rounded result
355/226                         1.570796460176991150442477876106194690265486725663716814159292...         1.570796460176991
tan(1.570796460176991)   -7497258.1937817903530300676383500305596348743875526813252...             -7497258.193781790

This final number is what the 34S is giving, the correctly rounded sixteen digit result that was asked for.
