 {{{

 Dedicated to the memory of William Schelter.
 The function bug_report() provides bug reporting information.
 (%i1) solve([(2*x^2/(x^2 + y^2) + log(x^2 + y^2))*(x^2 + y^2)^x,2*x*y*(x^2
 + y^2)^(x - 1)],[x,y]);

 So still present in 4.7.alpha1.

 This is a pretty straightforward Maxima bug/enhancement need.

 The issue about it not being a critical point is irrelevant, since this is
 exactly equivalent to the uninterpreted
 {{{
 solve([(2*x^2/(x^2 + y^2) + log(x^2 + y^2))*(x^2 + y^2)^x,2*x*y*(x^2 +
 y^2)^(x - 1)],[x,y])
 }}}
 So the relevant problem is that it's returning something not in the domain
 of the functions in question, which is indeed a problem.  In addition to
 not finding other solutions.

 This is now Maxima bug
 
[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3216684&group_id=4933&atid=104933
 3216684].
