I've done my doctoral work in D, which was a pretty large project for 
one person (I guess a few tens of KLOC).

I've also hit unpleasant bugs on occasion as those you mention - it's 
very jarring. I wonder how we could improve the process to give special 
priority to issues that (a) waste a lot of time tracking down, and (b) 
have no or difficult workarounds.
