Hi Viacheslav. Numerical procedures: You can always find examples where they fail. I find this variation of your example particularly worrisome since the function changes sign in the interval where the zeros are requested. It seems that it takes as a tolerance something proportional to the width of the interval  It is true that apparently the SMath algorithm can be improved in several ways. However, something good must have. Here SMath succeeds where Maple, Maxima and FindRoot do not.   solve_bug.sm (10kb) downloaded 7 time(s).Best regards. Alvaro.

Mathsoft Minerr uses a specific technique to cope with this fact, i.e: fool two similar results by injecting a small random. As well, Smath solvers turn unstable, pedal within their own end iterate. You forgot to show the function. Cheers ... Jean.
