Hi Everyone,

First of all, just wanted to say that I just recently started working
in sympy. I've enjoyed it so far and think that it is a wonderful
project.

On to my issue. I'm currently in the process of writing a random
variable class, and need to write a procedure that can invert
cumulative distribution functions. Basically, it seems like the solve
procedure chokes when there is a negative symbol in an exponential
function. The procedure works fine if there is a non-negative symbol
instead. For instance, solve((1-exp(-4*x))-y,x) fails, whereas
something like solve((1-exp(4*x))-y,x) works correctly. The negative
sign does not look like it's the problem, since solve works with
negative integers and floating point numbers in the exponential.

The exception raised is NotImplementedError, and may be related to the
guess_solve_strategy procedure.

Note that I haven't looked through the code for the solve procedure
yet. Wanted to see if anyone else has run into this issue.
