As you might know, the current druntime release contains a GC bug which
causes hard to track down crashes due to premature garbage collection in
combination with the OS X Lion ASLR, which is enabled by default on all
systems now. The problem is well understood, and a fix has already been
merged into master
(https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pull/43).
Given that there are already three people who have independently hit the
issue (Magnus Hetland just raised the topic on D.learn again) and the
elusive nature of the bug, is this severe enough to warrant an emergency
bugfix release? Or would it be possible to put a warning on the download
page, suggesting to use Git master for applications deployed to Lion?
Thanks,
David
