I've tried your patch (compiling gdc took 67minutes on my laptop ._.)
and it does indeed fix both bugs for me. Great work :-)

On a side note: It seems like the gdc meta-package in squeeze was
updated recently now depends on gdc-4.3 instead of gdc-4.1 - is gdc
4.3 really stable enough to be the default gdc? I just played around
with D for a few days and discovered two bugs, so it seems to me that
gdc-4.3 is far from being as mature as gdc-4.1 ..

Cheers,

1) It is "getting there", hopefully with more testers, all the most trivial bugs can be made shallow and squashed in time for the stable release.

2) If I recall correctly, the reason for gdc-4.1's drop from testing was because it currently fails to build from source by the more recent gcc compilers. So it's maintenance is out of my hands.

GCC development is always being pushed forwards, and gdc-4.3 is very late in the game.�Fingers crossed, there may be a gdc-4.5 within the year so it can help be brought back up to speed.�This will then be the release we can focus the most attention on (and scream at for all it's misfortune),�as 4.3 could very likely be removed in Squeeze+1.

Oh, and I wish compiling gdc took 67 minutes on my netbook.�It is more like 3 hours here...�At least I can be lazy in Ubuntu, and just use/abuse my Launchpad PPA to build everything for me. ;)
