Question: internal error when using ODESteps

Fyi, this looks like a bug in odesteps. I was not expecting it to give steps for this, but I do not think it should give internal error. Will report it also.  It should just say not supported or something like this.

Warning, cannot verify that the given particular solution, y(x) = 1+1/5*x, actually solves the corresponding homogeneous ODE, diff(diff(y(x),x),x)+1/x*(x-5)*diff(y(x),x)-(-5+6*x)/x^2*y(x) = 0

Error, (in Student:-ODEs:-ChangeVariables) the ODE, diff(diff(U(T),T),T) = 5*(T^2+6*T-5)/T^2/(5+T)*U(T)-diff(U(T),T)*(T^2+2*T-25)/T/(5+T), contains the undifferentiated dependent variable, U(T), but the transformation %3, does not
