I've been trying to get a modified version of std.process to compile

So I built a little test program, compiled it, and I get the following

object.Exception: circular dependency in module std.stdio.
Great. How did that happen? Being that I didn't write std.stdio, only
modified it slightly (and certainly didn't change any imports), I
haven't the foggiest where this problem is. Given that the runtime can
prove there is a circular dependency, and apparently knows the names of
the modules, how about showing me the cycle?
:P
I do not look forward to tracking this one down...

Hey Steve, if you haven't found your cycle yet, could you send me the
source code? My utility is a bit of a mess, but I think it's working now.
I did find it, and I will eventually incorporate my code which prints the
cycle when it's found (it will be completely non-intrusive and not affect
the startup performance unless a cycle is found). However, in trying to
print the cycle, I've found a really disturbing bug that needs to be
addressed first http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4384
Also, equally disappointing, I found that the reason the cycle was added
was to workaround a bug in dmd (specifically
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3979). Without the code
that creates the cycle, phobos doesn't compile. With the code, any
program linked with phobos fails. Lovely...
Great, I just gave myself more work when I was trying to just finish
std.process!
