   Using Derive 6.10:   
      
   f(x):=   
      
   INT(x*f'(x^2), x)   
      
   f(x^2)/2   
      
   Here f'(x^2) is short for SUBST(DIF(f(x), x), x, x^2), even though the   
   system cannot simplify   
      
   f'(x^2) = SUBST(DIF(f(x), x), x, x^2)   
      
   f'(x^2) = SUBST(f'(x), x, x^2)   
      
   down to true. And so my bug list has grown by another entry.
