After way too long, Microsoft has finally released a hotfix[1] for a call stack corruption bug when throwing an exception in a 32 bit binary on 64 bit windows 7, and your CPU supports AVX. Sounds very specific, but I think quite a lot of D users are affected by this whether they know it or not. You can read more about the issue here: [2] [3] [4]. These articles discuss C++, but any native code is affected.
