The Vincenty formula can fail to converge for antipodal points (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincenty's_formulae#Nearly_antipodal_points), so those test cases are removed. These tests fail with the latest V8 due to optimization of trig functions with lookup tables. For example, Math.cos(Math.PI / 2) is no longer calculated based on the value of Math.PI / 2 (which is different than the actual value of π / 2). Instead, values close to multiples of π / 2 are determined to be 0 (which is arguably what you want). Previously the tests were relying on very small numbers being returned in this case.
