#563 integrate(1/x^5,x,1,2^(1/78))

[Barton Willis]

In addition to bug 938235, here is another similar bug.
I did these calculations after applying my gfactor
patch. These are okay:

(C2) integrate(1/x^5,x,1,sqrt(2));
(D2) 3/16

(C3) integrate(1/x^5,x,1,2^(1/23));
(D3) (2^(4/23)-1)/(4*2^(4/23))

But we get a quotient by zero error for

(C4) integrate(1/x^5,x,1,2^(1/78));
QUOTIENT by ZERO

Changing gcd and algebraic doesn't help

(C5) algebraic : true$
(C6) gcd : 'spmod$
(C7) integrate(1/x^5,x,1,2^(1/78));
QUOTIENT by ZERO

(C8) build_info();

For these examples I don't get "quotient by 0" but I do get
an incorrect result ...

integrate(1/x^5,x,1,2^(1/78)); => 0

algebraic : true$
gcd : 'spmod$
integrate(1/x^5,x,1,2^(1/78)); => 0

Maxima now returns the correct answer.
