Details:
building fresh git clone on Windows 8 (has to do something with it) I get:

core.exception.AssertError@std\datetime.d(27832): [2012-Mar-11 04:00:00-07:00] [Pacific Standard Time]: [4] [3]

My date/time settings: (UTC+04:00) Moscow, St. Petersburg, Volgograd. And yes, there is no DST in Russia for quite some time now.

Seriously? Microsft can even get _their own_ time zone right now? I already had pretty much zero faith in their ability to get time information correct (_so_ much of it is wrong on Windows). But this?

Maybe they were idiots and changed the behavior of some API. Bleh. Well, this will be fun to deal with given that I don't have Windows 8. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if you just uncovered a bug in Windows 8 though - particularly given how screwed up Windows' time stuff is.

Well I can insert some debug writeln's and send you results if it can shed some light on this.

I'm going to install the Windows 8 Preview in VirtualBox and see if I can reproduce the error and track it down there, since I can get it for free, and it'll waste less of your time that way.

By the way, assuming that I determine that Windows 8 has a bug in it, do you know how I could report it to Microsoft? I assume that they have a process for that or it would be silly to have betas, but I don't know what it is. If you happen to know what is or could point me in the right direction, that would be quite helpful.

Really? Cool. I was able to confirm with the preview version that it was failing and how it was failing at a higher level, but unfortunately, I've never gotten around to finishing the job (sorry about that). So, if it works now, that's great.

> but see 10173.

Did you mean issue# 10161? Issue# 10173 is about std.algorithm.remove.

Uhm. Yes, sorry the one about a new time zone.
