interface InterBase : InterRoot { }
class Base : InterBase { }

void test(Base.Invalid) { }

interface InterRoot { }

2.060: test.d(3): Error: interface test.InterBase base InterRoot is forward
referenced

This message is printed about 20 times. In earlier versions it goes into an
infinite loop. The real error message should be:

test.d(6): Error: no property 'Invalid' for type 'test.Base'
test.d(6): Error: Base.Invalid is used as a type

You can verify this by replacing "class Base : InterBase" with "class Base :
InterRoot"
