Mmm, this one is a bit wilder. Mathematica NIntegrate with target

Yes, that happened to me also.

My Gauss Legendre gives -12190.6 to 6 places. I wonder if Maple can
confirm that value.

Gert Van den Eynde posted elsewhere in this thread that Maple got a
value of 866.something. Matlab gets the same result.

I didn't expect to build confidence in a result via voting from
different math softwares, but what else can I do? :)
