No. Fractions are not elements of the ring of polynomials (but of the field of rational functions).

Code:
ring R=0,(x,y,z,w),dp;
ideal I=x^2+y-w,(x^2+z)/(1-y-z^2),(x^3-y)/(x+y+z+w);
std(I);
The division is performed in the ring of polynomials giving zero as the second and the third generators of I.
If you want to solve the system of equations
x^2+y-w = 0,
x^2+z = 0,
x^3-y = 0,
1-y-z^2 <> 0,
x+y+z+w <> 0,
we recommend the following:
Code:
ring R=0,(x,y,z,w),dp;
ideal I = x^2+y-w,x^2+z,x^3-y;
ideal J = 1-y-z^2, x+y+z+w;
facstd(I,J);
See the description of facstd for details.
