This is a two part post.
First, I wanted to pol how many users out there were developing
under OSX? The threads seem to indicated users under windows or
Linux, but I've never heard of anybody under OSX. So who has or
is developing under OSX? Anybody?
I also wanted to know if you had any "stability" problems. It
seems there are strange bugs with the OSX realease every now and
then, and those are only the ones we "see". Has anybody tried D
with a "relatively" large project? No problems?
The second part of this post is about a specific (OSX related)
bug. I don't like drawing attention to it such as this, as I know
we are all busy, but I think this one is serious enough to try to
push for its investigation:

The reason I'm worried about this bug is that the only condition
that seems to trigger it passing an object that has a destructor.
I find this is very bothersome, because it can happen with
perfectly safe code, and its "observable condition" is perfectly
undefined. Finally, it only appears in -O, biting you in the ass
in the worst possible moment.
Seeing that this bug exists, I'd have 0 faith to use D under OSX.
May I kindly request that those with the required knowledge to
fix this bug try to investigate it? Sorry for insisting/asking...
