Things turned out to be a bit strange. The troublemaker
is the problem #24 in rtest8.mac. When I run tests by
load("tests.lisp");
I get correct solution under Clisp but
No roots found
under GCL. So naturally I decided that something
is wrong with solve. But when I separated the
problem from other tests
eqs:[4*X^2-Y^2 = 12,X*Y-X = 2];
SOLVE(eqs,[X,Y]);
I've got correct solutions on both
Clisp and GCL!
So something is definitely wrong with
GCL Maxima but I do not know what
and I'm not so sure that the problem is
in solve.
