New issue 3340 by [email protected]: wrong result in simple symbolic calculation
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=3340

Sympy computes a wrong result for a simple example. If "S" is used the term is solved correctly!

System Specs:
Ubuntu 12.04
python 2.7.3
sympy 0.7.1.rc1

minimal example:

from sympy import S, Symbol
h = Symbol("h")
b = Symbol("b")

S("(-3/2*h)**2*b*h + b*h**3/12")

7*b*h**3/3    ---> correct

(-3/2*h)**2*b*h + b*h**3/12

49*b*h**3/12  ---> wrong!

Moreover the second result is sensitive to the sign within the first bracket!

(3/2*h)**2*b*h + b*h**3/12

13*b*h**3/12  --->  ????
