digitalmars.D.bugs - auto declaration & compiler warning "no function return"

compiler gives the following: "warning - peer.d(342): function 
akp2p.peer.Peer.onRead no return at end of function"

but when I remove the "auto" from the ih declaration, everything 
compiles as expected

Don't know what the rest of the code's doing but this compiles ok for me
(DMD.148). Can you give us more of your code to get a small full example which
reproduces the error? 

import std.stdio;
import std.socket;

void main()
{
Test t = new Test();
}

class Test
{
private InternetAddress ia;
private char[] hostName;
private void onRead()
{
auto InternetHost ih = new InternetHost();
if ( ih.getHostByAddr( ia.addr() ) )
{
//remember to delete this!!
hostName = ih.name.dup;
}
else
{
hostName = "unknown";
}
return true;
}
}

I'm fairly sure this is a dup of: http://d.puremagic.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5 I've got a potential patch for it in the bug which I just reassigned to walter. Later, Brad
