You'd probably be better off creating a bug report. The phobos devs don't catch 
everything and neither do their unit tests. And even if they're aware of it, a 
bug report will serve as a reminder to them so that they don't forget. I know 
that Andrei has asked people to create bug reports on a few occasions when he 
was already aware of a issue that they pointed out, because he didn't want to 
forget it.
