Description Bill Baxter 2009-01-16 13:22:05 UTC 
Around line 182 this line appears in std.signals:
		slots[slots_idx + 1 .. length] = null;

This should be changed to:
		slots[slots_idx + 1 .. $] = null;


Or it will fail to compile when Signal is mixed into any class that defines a .length member.

Oh, and that usage of 'length' should be killed entirely because it's just a bad idea, as has been discussed before.
