I'm sorry and must apologize for my previous response to the person with the
problem concerning ISOL, SOLVE and terms concerning 'i'.  I misread part of his
problem and thus gave a response based on poor assumptions.

Another poster suggested that the fact that 'i' in the equation causes the
evaluation to return (0,0) rather than 0 makes the 48 think that is has been
given bad guesses is much closer to the truth I suspect.

Again, I am appropriately abashed at my mis-analysis and am sorry.
