OSX users out there? Serious bug (I think)

This is a two part post.

First, I wanted to pol how many users out there were developing 
under OSX? The threads seem to indicated users under windows or 
Linux, but I've never heard of anybody under OSX. So who has or 
is developing under OSX? Anybody?

I also wanted to know if you had any "stability" problems. It 
seems there are strange bugs with the OSX realease every now and 
then, and those are only the ones we "see". Has anybody tried D 
with a "relatively" large project? No problems?

The second part of this post is about a specific (OSX related) 
bug. I don't like drawing attention to it such as this, as I know 
we are all busy, but I think this one is serious enough to try to 
push for its investigation:

The reason I'm worried about this bug is that the only condition 
that seems to trigger it passing an object that has a destructor. 
I find this is very bothersome, because it can happen with 
perfectly safe code, and its "observable condition" is perfectly 
undefined. Finally, it only appears in -O, biting you in the ass 
in the worst possible moment.

Seeing that this bug exists, I'd have 0 faith to use D under OSX. 
May I kindly request that those with the required knowledge to 
fix this bug try to investigate it? Sorry for insisting/asking...
