Phobos unittests either spuriously fail or spuriously pass

[Andrei Alexandrescu via Digitalmars-d]

I was surprised to see this in phobos master:

make -f posix.mak unittest

This passes. So do these:

make -f posix.mak BUILD=debug unittest
make -f posix.mak BUILD=release unittest

Now, this also passes:

make -f posix.mak BUILD=debug std/algorithm/sorting.test

But this fails in std/algorithm/sorting.d line 2266!

make -f posix.mak BUILD=release std/algorithm/sorting.test

I'll investigate this. Any insight is welcome!


Thanks,

Andrei
