Sorry, we should get 2/(cos(x))^2, of course. 2* tan(x) is the integral.

The problem disappears also if doing two substitutions in x/(sqrt(x^2-4) , we
can use x=2*t first and then t=1/cos(u). The result is correct. Unfortunatelly,
it seems that we get incorrect answer if we compose these substitution into
x=2/cos(u).
