In grace the Fresnel integrals "fresnlc(x)" and "fresnls(x)" approach 0.5
rather than sqrt(pi/8)=0.626 given by math textbooks.

See e.g. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_integral>. If you look into the Cephes lib sources (used by Grace), the integrals are defined as

 *
 *           x
 *           -
 *          | |
 * C(x) =   |   cos(pi/2 t**2) dt,
 *        | |
 *         -
 *          0
 *
 *           x
 *           -
 *          | |
 * S(x) =   |   sin(pi/2 t**2) dt.
 *        | |
 *         -
 *          0
