Hi,

This is similar to my previous posts, but I have worked hard to come up
with the simplest possible example which highlights what ought to be
considered in bug in Mathematica. Please comment and suggest a work
around.

F = Log[(-1 + d x + e Sqrt[f + 2g x + h  x^2])];
st = Integrate[F, x];

specific = st /. { d -> -2, e -> 10, f -> 1.3, g -> -1, h -> 1 };
(specific /. x -> 1 ) - (specific /. x -> 0)
NIntegrate[F /.  { d -> -2, e -> 10, f -> 1.3, g -> -1, h -> 1 }, {x,
0, 1}]

The results are:

-1.25713 - 4.44^-16*I

and

1.6552

Thank you very much in advance!
