#2588 Maxima ignores input to asksign

[Barton Willis]

OK:

(%i1) integrate(x^mu * atan(x),x);
"Is  "mu+1"  zero or nonzero?"zero;

(%o1) -(%pi*log(x^2+1)+2*%i*li[2](%i*x+1)-2*%i*li[2](1-%i*x)-4*atan(x)*log(x))/4

Not OK--the antiderivative isn't valid when mu + 1 = 0

(%i2) integrate(x^mu * acos(x),x);
"Is  "mu+1"  zero or nonzero?"zero;
(%o2) -((mu+1)*integrate((sqrt(1-x)*x*sqrt(x+1)*%e^(mu*log(x)))/((mu+1)*x^2-mu-1),x)-x*%e^(mu*log(x))*atan2(sqrt(1-x)*sqrt(x+1),x))/(mu+1)

I put leading and trailing tildes (~~~~) around Maxima i/o, and assigned labels.
