Is it possible that the Karmic upgrade interferes with dmd?

Hmm. This is where dmd struggles:

641:    [0x1.a5f1c2eb3fe4efp+73, 0x1.A5F1C2EB3FE4EFp-1,   74],    // normal

I have no idea how the lexer works, but that sounds pretty plausible when I 
look at that constant in there.

Anyway, after further investigation I figured out that it's a unittest, so I 
just commented it out and it compiles now without problems. Maybe it's just 
a fluke, I guess we'll see if someone else will have the same problem. I, 
for one, am satisfied; my code compiles, and that is all that counts.

Some additional info: I tried it with dmd 1.050 too, same thing. My Tango 
import is a rather current checkout, I diff'd against a checkout I made 
about 15 minutes ago and the problematic file is the same as in Tango's 
trunk. And nothing compiles as soon as I import tango.math (which in turn 
imports IEEE.d).
