[Swift-devel] Swift 0.93 exception on Fusion

This looks like the same bug I encountered in 0.92.1:
https://bugzilla.mcs.anl.gov/swift/show_bug.cgi?id=569

This affects SwiftR so I'm trying to work out what my options are to resolve
it.  Is it possible to backport the fix to the 0.92 release?  I can do this
myself, or simply patch my own version of the source if you let me know the
svn revision.

I'm also not sure what the overall best approach for bundling Swift with
SwiftR is.  My current approach is to simply include the most recent stable
Swift release, but I seem to be missing out on relevant bugfixes from
trunk.  I'm looking in the near future to start distributed SwiftR more
widely as a downloadable R package so pushing out bugfixes may become more
of a pain.  Any thoughts on which version of Swift I should bundle with
SwiftR in order to maximise stability?
