It seems that all current CAS have a problem with this integral:
\begin{axiom}
integrate(1/(-3+v^3)*v/(-4+v^3)^(1/2),v)
integrate(1/(-3+v^3)*v/(-4+v^3)^(1/2),v=0..1,"noPole")
\end{axiom}
However, at least the error message could be better...

It seems that the problem is in 'alglist$PFO', or perhaps in 'FractionalIdeal'. In 'alglist', the numerator of an ideal is computed, but in the case above, we are dealing with a double fraction, and the result of 'numer' is not a polynomial.  On the other hand, it seems that such double fractions are expected.  Unfortunately, I have no idea of the mathematics involved.
