Tango has a 1004 compatible runtime component. That particular assertion 
problem is a mismatch between the 1004 runtime and a pre-1004 compiler 
(dmd 1.0?). It's effectively the same thing as if you ran a dmd 1.0 with 
a phobos 1004 :)

Hope that gets you going again!

p.s. there's also forums at Tango which generally get a very quick 
response. The IRC channel is usually immediate, if you have an IRC 
client. All noted here: http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/Contact
