I don't think that will ever get fixed (unless you make a patch 
yourself). Phobos BigInt was created by Janice, and she seems to have 
completely disappeared. I'm working on Tango BigInt, which is completely 
independent, and will replace Phobos BigInt eventually. ( == as soon as 
we get a common namespace to put it into). I don't think anyone is 
interested in debugging Phobos BigInt.
