	Please tell me the result for the following integration by Maple and Mma

	inte(abs(x^3), x from -2 to 2)

	inte(sgn(x)*x^3, x from -2 to 2)

It seems that this fellow refuses to rest! Oh well.

In Maple,

> int(sin(x)*x^3,x=-2..2);

                          8*cos(2) + 12*sin(2)

> int(-x^3, x = -2..0) + int(x^3, x = 0..2);

                               8
