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
