"integrate" with simple expression takes forever

Hi, it's me again ...

if you calculate this:

integrate(x^(1/3)/(x^(2/3)+1), x, 0, 8);

Maxima will compute forever and never return.
However, the indefinite integral works:

integrate(x^(1/3)/(x^(2/3)+1), x);

gives you the antiderivative:
F(x) := (3*(x^(2/3)+1))/2-(3*log(x^(2/3)+1))/2;

Now I can manually compute my original definite integral as F(8) - F(0).
This is OK, because F(x) doesn't change sign or shows any other notable 
behavior between 0 and 8.
The question is: why doesn't Maxima do this? Instead it loops forever ...

PS: I'm a bit surprised how many bugs Maxima still seems to have, even 
though it is so old ...
