All static ctor in a module have the same effect (module or class).

The message indicates that there is a dependency problem related to
static ctors.

I try to explain what I understand:
Before main is run, an algorithm tries to run all the existing static ctors.
For each module, there is a list of all contained static ctors and a
list of dependencies (the imports).
It goes to the first modules and calls first recursively all modules
that are listed in the dependencies. If it detects a circular
dependency, the error is thrown.

So, if you use other modules that include your modules or changed
imports or you added static ctors, the behaviour can change.

Tip:
If you use static ctors, be careful with you imports.

Can you reproduce, that this behaviour changed between DMD 1.00 the
version before?
