that's exactly why i'm ashamed. 'cause i knew about this bug for almost a 
year and a half, yet never tried to find out what was wrong until i have 
to write some windows code, which was very uncomfortable to do in virtual 
machine. i.e. i knew that the bug exists (but didn't know why) and don't 
bothered to report it.

i may never agree on some bugreports, but i feel that D community is very 
warm in accepting bug reports. and most of them either getting fixed, or 
at least i'm told why they aren't a bugs. i mean that reporting bugs to D 
bugzilla has the very visible effect, and it's great.
