Hi there,

I want to compute the integral from 2 to 3 of the funktion f(x)=1/log(x)^2. 
Sage gives conflicting results for different ways to compute it:

*numerical way*
(double checked by Wolfram Alpha 
<http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=int%20from%202%20to%203%20of%201%2Flog%28x%29^2>
 
and Maple):

sage: numerical_integral(1/log(x)^2,2,3)

(*1.273097216447114*, 1.4134218422857824e-14)

*symbolic way*
(I think this is wrong)

sage: N(integral(1/log(x)^2,(x,2,3)))
*0.536566859259958*



The funktion is not that evil in the interval [2,3], so I don't think it is 
just a numerical issue.

This is the minimal example. I am using sage 6.1 and 6.3 (tried both) on 
Ubuntu.
