Are you referring to this issue?

	https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22583

I just tested it, dmd shows the bug, but ldc2 generates correct code.
Looks like a DMD backend bug.  I'm looking at the dmd generated asm
right now to see what's going on... looks like it has something to do
with passing floats via the xmm* registers that somehow got mixed up
between caller/callee.

Once I have a clearer idea I'll update the bug.  DMD backend is beyond
my depth, though. Black magic happens there and I don't have the
time/patience to figure it all out.
