Description
As reported in this sage-support thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support/browse_thread/thread/793c2bdb3db1f02c
We expect,
sage: integral( x / (exp(x) - 1) , (x,0,oo)) pi^2/6
but get,
sage: integral( x / (exp(x) - 1) , (x,0,oo)) -1/6*pi^2 + limit(-1/2*x^2 + x*log(-e^x + 1) + polylog(2, e^x), x, +Infinity)
The above might not be incorrect, but it is not very useful either.

more tests:
sage: giac('integrate(x / (exp(x) - 1), x, 0, inf)') pi^2/6 sage: integrate(x / (exp(x) - 1), x, 0, oo, algorithm='sympy') integrate(x/(e^x - 1), x, 0, +Infinity)
i think this is another reason to make more user friendly the functionality that is offered through giac; stay tuned at the giac interface wiki.
