Once again, I cannot reproduce this. What version of python are you
running? Try doing "from __future__ import division". It is
reminiscent of things like 1/3 returning the float 0.333333333333.
Also try simplify(sympify(y**5/a)). Does it only do this if you call
simplify? If so, could you narrow it down to what part of simplify.
If you look in the source, you will see that simplify simply calls
several functions in simplify.py at once.
