I'm trying to use Sage for optimization using the Lagrange multipliers 
method, but it does not solve this apparently simple problem:

var('x y l')

f = x + 2*y

g = 2*x^(1/4)*y^(1/2)

L = f - l * (16 - g)

dfdx = L.diff(x)

dfdy = L.diff(y)

dfdl = L.diff(l)

solve([dfdx == 0, dfdy == 0, dfdl == 0], x,y,l)

First Sage takes a very long time and then it just returns the equations, 
not the solutions.  

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
