I understand you don't care much anymore for the discussed 
problem, and I know that localizing D/DMD bugs requires some time 
and work.

But I'd like you to not ignore all the bugs you find, and instead 
minimize some of them and submit them to Bugzilla. Despite 
thousands of open bugs and about a hundred of open patches, many 
bugs do get fixed at every release. If you submit bugs, D/DMD 
will improve, in your future you will find less bugs to work 
around in your D code, and you will help other present and future 
D programmers avoid hitting them. This is important because D is 
young and its community is small. The idea is: they give you a 
compiler/language for free, and you give something back to the 
community submitting some bugs :-)

Bye and thank you,
