          Issue ID: 14958
           Summary: Casting a double to ulong sometimes produces wrong
                    results
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd

import std.stdio;
void main() {
  double x = 1.2;
  writeln(cast(ulong)(x * 10.0));
  double y = 1.2 * 10.0;
  writeln(cast(ulong)y);
}

Output:
11
12


to!ulong instead of the cast does the right thing, and is a viable work-around.
