Surprising error in numerical integration

sage: g(x)=gamma_inc(2,11/5)*x
sage: g(x).integrate(x,2,5).n() ## For reference
3.72298612097441

So far, so good. But :

sage: gamma_inc(2,11/5).n()*numerical_integral(x,2,5)[0]
3.72298612097441
sage: numerical_integral(g(x),2,5)

SystemError: calling remove_from_pari_stack() inside sig_on()

Ouch... The problem seems to come from the ((unpurposeful) repeated) computation of gamma(2,11/5) inside the integrated function.

FWIW:

sage: numerical_integral(x*arctan(sqrt(3)),2,5)

A few (alive, dead or zombie) fossils tickets, possibly related : #15219, #17328, #18210

Changed keywords from none to integral

Moving to 9.4, as 9.3 has been released.
