Only one of these answers is correct:
\begin{axiom}
eq1:=%pi/2-asin(n/2)=asin(n)
s:=solve(eq1,n)
-- repeating is ok
s:=solve(eq1,n)
subst(eq1,s.1)::Equation Complex Float
subst(eq1,s.2)::Equation Complex Float
\end{axiom}

We should expect the same result from:
\begin{axiom}
)clear all
eq1:=%pi/2-asin(n/2)=asin(n)
s:=solve(eq1,n)
-- repeating is not ok!
s:=solve(eq1,n)
subst(eq1,s.1)::Equation Complex Float
subst(eq1,s.2)::Equation Complex Float
subst(eq1,s.3)::Equation Complex Float
subst(eq1,s.4)::Equation Complex Float
\end{axiom}

But now there are 4 results for the same equation!
