Beta List

[David Bryant]

Ok, I gave the latest 2.053 beta a try (dated 12 May) and am running 
into some new problems. This code ran successfully with older versions 
of dmd2, but now it fails most of the time with exceptions from within 
threads. Here are some example backtraces:

Thread died unexpectedly:

I hope this may be of some help.
