 OK, thanks!

 I don't think it is necessary to add another doctest for the integral;
 this would just test in addition that Maxima computes the correct
 antiderivative.  Of course the above command was how the bug was
 originally found, but I don't really see why we should doctest exactly
 that command.  What I meant to say is "add a doctest to show that the PARI
 bug has been fixed".
