Finally! I actually knew about this bug some time ago (2-4 months), when 
I updated some of my D shell scripts to D 2.0. I purposefully didn't 
report since I wanted to see how long it would take until someone else 
did. It seemed such a common problem (I have very little D code written, 
yet I stumbled upon it quickly), that I'm somewhat surprised it took 
this long for someone to report it. Isn't there that many people using 
D2.0 features or what?
