   Thank you for reporting the two typos.  They have been corrected and revised   
   versions of the files posted on Rubi's website.   
      
   Unfortunately as a last resort on integrands it does not recognize, Rubi   
   sometimes uses integration methods, like partial fraction expansion, that can   
   hang the system.  Also the simplification of recursively derived integrands   
   can hang the system.     
   Therefore, Rubi uses the TimeConstrained function to regain control after a   
   fixed, somewhat arbitrary amount of time.  Elimination of such hacks depends   
   on finding rules that clearly result in simpler integrands -- a never ending   
   and fascinating quest...
