Comment:

 What is the expected improvement in this ticket?

 The `solve()` function in Sage is just a wrapper around maxima for now. In
 this case we just return the result from maxima.

 There are two problems here:
  * maxima's solve() cannot handle the given input, probably symbolic
 exponents defeat it
  * maxima's solve() can return undefined points as output (#2617)

 If this ticket is about improving the capabilities of solve to handle the
 given input properly, this is an enhancement request. Do we know of any
 algorithm that will help with this?

 Otherwise, this ticket is a duplicate of #2617.
