      <itunes:summary>I tried it in Maple 12 and got the loss of kernel connection.  This error (in my experience) normally means Maple has used all possible memory, but that does not seem to be the case here.

Note that c(3/2) works fine.  The error can be obtained using this:
solve(-3.75+x^1.333333333);
Also note "fsolve" works fine, but not "solve".

      <title>I get same message</title>

      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;I get that message on 3 different era Mac's all running Maple 12.02. However, solve(-3.75+x^1.333333333); does not give that error messahe; Maple just evaluates forever until I Force Quit. And changing your example to fractions gives the correct answer!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;solve(-15/16+x^(4/3));&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for confirming the problem. I wonder why Vista has no problem.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>
