And I was wondering why the square root of every number was zero ;-)

Hmm, that's strange, because it still doesn't work for me. I'm using dmd 0.98 on
linux. Can anyone else comfirm?

I am on Linux (Fedora Core 1, DMD 0.110), and have found this problem 
with casting float->ulong, double->ulong, and real->ulong.  It works 
when converting to long, however.

 import std.stdio;
  
 void main() {
   double d = 1.0;
   writefln("double: ",d);
   writefln("double->float: ", cast(float)d);
   writefln("double->real:  ", cast(real)d);
   writefln("double->ulong: ", cast(ulong)d);
   writefln("double->long:  ", cast(long)d);
  
   float f = 2.0;
   writefln("float: ",f);
   writefln("float->double: ", cast(double)f);
   writefln("float->real:   ", cast(real)f);
   writefln("float->ulong:  ", cast(ulong)f);
   writefln("float->long:   ", cast(long)f);
  
   real r = 3.0;
   writefln("real: ",r);
   writefln("real->float:  ", cast(float)r);
   writefln("real->double: ", cast(double)r);
   writefln("real->ulong:  ", cast(ulong)r);
   writefln("real->long:   ", cast(long)r);
 }



This currently prints:

 double: 1
 double->float: 1
 double->real:  1
 double->ulong: 0
 double->long:  1
 float: 2
 float->double: 2
 float->real:   2
 float->ulong:  0
 float->long:   2
 real: 3
 real->float:  3
 real->double: 3
 real->ulong:  0
 real->long:   3
