Any float point calculation in both main Fiber/slave Fiber will
cause uncertain result, unless your CPU is 386sx with FP emu clib.

This bug exsits on both Win32 and x86 Linux Tango lib. Please dont
use Fiber class unless you are sure there no any float point
calculation in you program and in ALL api/lib you imported.

Thread.d firber context switch bug, there is no FP register
save/restore. EBX ESI EDI EBP ESP IP FS only. this code is unsafe!

==========CUT from tango/core/Thread.d line:2369-2405=======
version( AsmX86_Win32 )
{
asm
{
naked;

// save current stack state
push EBP;
mov EBP, ESP;
push EAX;
push dword ptr FS:[0];
push dword ptr FS:[4];
push dword ptr FS:[8];
push EBX;
push ESI;
push EDI;

// store oldp again with more accurate address
mov EAX, dword ptr 8[EBP];
mov [EAX], ESP;
// load newp to begin context switch
mov ESP, dword ptr 12[EBP];

// load saved state from new stack
pop EDI;
pop ESI;
pop EBX;
pop dword ptr FS:[8];
pop dword ptr FS:[4];
pop dword ptr FS:[0];
pop EAX;
pop EBP;

// 'return' to complete switch
ret;
}
}

OMG, now you posted this in the NG, 3 times the equal bug reports in tango-trac, and here.
Mango is not even related to fibers.

Have you thought about the newspaper option? Very Happy

And there still is no reproducable example to show that this truly is a bug.
