MuPad shows a very strange behaviour in using solve on expressions
which contain roots:
When I try to solve the (trivial) expression
  solve({sqrt(x)=y,y=b},{x,y}) I get the senseless solution {[]}.
On the other hand MuPad is able to correctly solve
  solve(sqrt(x)=b,x) ...
In solving equations with x^(1/3) etc. there is the same problem

Di anybody have the same problem? Is there anything I do not
understand about the MuPad solver? Is there a work - around?
best regards
  Marco
