New issue 1434 by ondrej.certik: substitution doesn't work for sqrt()
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1434

In [6]: sqrt(1-x**2)
Out[6]:
    ⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽
   ╱      2
╲╱  1 - x

In [7]: sqrt(1-x**2).subs(x, 2)
Out[7]:
     ⎽⎽⎽
ⅈ⋅╲╱ 3

In [8]: (sqrt(1-x**2)**3).subs(x, 2)
Out[8]:
     ⎽⎽⎽
3⋅╲╱ 3

In [9]: (sqrt(1-x**2)).subs(x, 2)**3
Out[9]:
        ⎽⎽⎽
-3⋅ⅈ⋅╲╱ 3


[7] is correct, so is [9]. But [8] is totally wrong, it should be the same
as [9].

This is a big problem, that has to be fixed soon.
