Yea, that's been a problem for a *lot* of stuff... Although I think it might 
be fixed now... I could swear there was a patch on bugzilla for that that I 
had grabbed and made a custom-build of DMD with, and then saw that a newer 
version of DMD had incorporated it... But in my current sleepless stupor I 
might be confusing it with something else...
