Any idea why limit(e,x=0) fail to evaluate but  eval(e,x=0) does in this example?

I tried the above using some other software, and there both evaluate to same result as expected:

In Maple, I found that by removing the sqrt(2) from inside the tanh, then limit now works

e:=-tanh((a*x+b));
limit(e,x=0)

Is this a bug?
