Question: pdetest fails when called after another pdetest

I found a case where pdetest fails when called after another call to pdetest. I am using Physics version 272 from the clould. Using Maple 2018.2.1 on windows 10

restart;
u:='u';x:='x';t:='t';
pde := diff(u(x, t), t) + diff(u(x, t),x) =0;
sol:=pdsolve(pde,u(x,t));
pdetest(sol,pde);
    #0  OK
   
#restart;
u:='u';x:='x';t:='t';
pde:=diff(u(x,t),t)+diff(u(x,t),x)=0;
bc:=u(0,t)=0;
ic:=u(x,0)=sin(x);
sol:=pdsolve([pde,ic,bc],u(x,t)) assuming x>0;
pdetest(sol,pde);
   
     #sol := u(x, t) = -sin(-x+t)*Heaviside(-t+x)   #OK
     
     #-Dirac(-t+x)*sin(x)*cos(t)+Dirac(-t+x)*cos(x)*sin(t)+
      Dirac(-x+t)*sin(x)*cos(t)-Dirac(-x+t)*cos(x)*sin(t)   #WRONG should be 0
 

 

If I run the above again, but with restart call in between active, so that all is cleared, then pdetest gives 0 as expected on the second pde, with the same solution

 

restart;
u:='u';x:='x';t:='t';
pde := diff(u(x, t), t) + diff(u(x, t),x) =0;
sol:=pdsolve(pde,u(x,t));
pdetest(sol,pde);
   #0   #OK
   
restart;
u:='u';x:='x';t:='t';
pde:=diff(u(x,t),t)+diff(u(x,t),x)=0;
bc:=u(0,t)=0;
ic:=u(x,0)=sin(x);
sol:=pdsolve([pde,ic,bc],u(x,t)) assuming x>0;
pdetest(sol,pde);
   
   #0   #OK !! 

can any one explain why this happens?  Is this a bug? It seems like pdetest caching problem. it remembers something from the last call and this affects the result it gives for the next call.

any work around?
