I stumbled upon the following

(%i1) batch(bug1.max)
batching /home/myuser/bug1.max
(%i2) display2d : false
(%o2) false
(%i3) integrate(x/(1-x),x,-1,1)
Is zeroa positive, negative, or zero?
----------------------------------------------------------
what does zeroa mean here?

(%i1) batch(bug2.max)
batching /home/myuser/bug2.max
(%i2) display2d : false
(%o2) false
(%i3) integrate(1/x,x,-1,1)
Is x-1 positive, negative, or zero?
----------------------------------------------------------
isn't x-1 < 1-1 = 0?
how does this pnz question help here?
