I'd beg to differ... ;)

There are still many issues related to standard C library implementation in
druntime. Silly mistakes that *shouldn't* have happened (std.socket.SocketSet is
broken because FD_ISSET was implemented wrong). Whilst other things have simply
never been correct in the first place (stat_t.sizeof is not equal to the
sizeof(stat) on Linux systems (using eglibc-2,12.1), and the alignment of it's
members is fairly off too. It's rather miraculous it even works on 32bit... 64bit segfaults. :o)
