It 'appears' that this commit (24th May 2021) caused this issue 
(see link below). Presumably, only those versions after this 
commit will be affected.

https://github.com/dlang/dmd/commit/790b1268128f10878f9b782fea8f2e14da203759#diff-6204b7c3e9bc498b31aac8499c84b946d9d1f5a90858dd7522630a8a31cf5938
