Another integration question

I made the simple change to try the antiderivative first.  It seems to 
work and the definite integral is computed in a second or two.  It takes 
this long because maxima is checking to see if the integrand has any 
poles in the integration interval.  You can disable that by setting 
intanalysis:false, but you should know what you're doing.

Running the testsuite shows 2 new failures, but that failure is due to 
the form of the answer, not the value.
