No, Tango devs will be debugging it. Hell, let them do the work with a
pre-release compiler. I'll volunteer to do it. If they determine it is a
DMD bug, they give you a minimal case, and then you go back and fix it, or
you determine that it can't be fixed for this release (with appropriate
bugzilla entry logged).
But without access to the compiler pre-release, there is not much the Tango
guys can do except say "another stable release that is broken"
And all this is moot if we can build dmd from source :) It would be nice to
be able to help...
