   However, when the role of a parameter is trivial, such as that of a in   
   integrate(a/((3 - x^2)*(1 - 3*x^2)^(1/3)), x), one would expect that its   
   role remains so when it ends up in properly conceived resultants.   
      
   Could it be that integrate(b*x/((3 - x^2)*(1 - 3*x^2)^(1/3)), x) and   
   integrate(b*x/((2 - x^2)*(x^2 - 1)^(1/4)), x) are preprocessed to remove   
   or simplify the radical? This could explain why the computations are   
   here not obstructed by the trivial parameter b.
