Comment (by kcrisman):

 > On the other hand, it's in solve. Those answers aren't trustworthy if
 there's no error either.
 In this particular case, I guess we noticed that
 {{{
 cot: argument 0 isn't in the domain of cot.
 }}}
 which is true, and so solve should give the empty solution.  Would it be
 fairly easy to change that solve code to catch this type of wording
 `argument 0 isn't in the domain` in which case presumably no solution
 ''is'' correct?  Though...
 {{{
 (%i6) solve(x*acot(x),x);

 cot: argument 0 isn't in the domain of cot.
 (%i7) acot(0)
 ;
                                       %pi
 (%o7)                                 ---
                                        2
 }}}
 which is not ideal.  I opened https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/bugs/2844/
 for this.

 Anyway, one way or another that doctest failure needs to be dealt with,
 and so much the better if it improves the solve code.
