There have been quite a few bugs in the I/O functions because the

As Don said, D2 is an alpha and it cannot be held to the stability
standards of a finished product.
Then I should wait a few revisions before doing anything that depends in
any significant way on Phobos?
I think there's no point in releasing a product that is known to be
unstable. But I guess it's intended as a preview / request for testing.
What versions of D2 and Phobos are recommended to use for something
vaguely stable and usable?
None. Use D1 if you want stability.
I'm using D1, but it's a bug rollercoaster. I'm claiming what D needs is
not new spiffy features, that solve all currently known problems of the
computer science world, but a rock stable toolchain.
The D2 website needs a big red label on the front sayin' "Warning:
lark's vomit."
Or "Warning: pre-release software; do not use for anything, ever."

By the way, why do people feel the need to "sign" their posts, even
though the news protocol already provides a "From: " field, that not
only makes the signature redundant, but is also better to spot, is
recognized by the news readers, and usually provides more information?
