Exactly. We have two genuine problems that need fixing, so let's do it.

In amongst all the bluster and anger, I think we have iterated to a very
simple solution to both bugs: remove the setting of the symbol in the D
tools since it is problematic and the Fortran tools do not touch it
(even if they ought to be :-).

I will commit the change and push to my Mercurial repository on
BitBucket, but won't ask for a pull request, unless that would be
helpful to people with Windows kit trying this out.

We do need a test for this, but I am not sure what form it should take
so all suggestions welcome.
