It still fails on win32.

std.string.format uses formatValue internally.

I usually post a comment if I can't reproduce, and wait for the original 
author to confirm that it has been fixed.  Be careful about which platform 
it was reported for and which one you're testing on.  Some bugs can 
obviously be closed, such as those that deal with features that have been 
removed.

Yes and no.  A comment may not get much attention, but some of us do read 
through all the bug updates, and a comment about failure to reproduce or a 
question about validity will likely get answered eventually.
