Found a strange behaviour in Mapke 2015 of the sqrt-function after loading the GRTensor package:

the square-root of a non-square integer, e.g. sqrt(5), does not terminate. 5^(1/2) instead works fine.

Can be reproduced with Maple 18, but not with Maple 11.

I consider this a serious bug, as it makes any expressions containing such roots useless.

As it worked with Maple 11 I am inclined to see it as your fault.
