Unfortunately, rdmd doesn't seem to have gotten much attention lately.
I've had a few patches for it sitting in bugzilla for a number of
months. (Not that I'm complaning, I realize there's been other
priorities.)
I see. Kind of surprising, given that rdmd is distributed in the
official DMD zip file. But, yeah, no complaints. :)
Actually, if you want, you can grab a version of rdmd.d with my
patches applied here:

Thanks!
Humm. I'm still using the rdmd I had (it seems to work, so as long as I
have already compiled it... ;)
However: I'm a bit baffled by the --shebang option. What's its purpose,
really? If I use rdmd without it in a shebang line, it seems to work
fine. If I *do* use --shebang, the code doesn't seem to be
compiled/executed at all...
It seems like it interprets args[1] as a single string containing all
the arguments, splitting it into separate items. That seems well an good
-- except (in OS X, at least) it doesn't seem to be needed (I get my
arguments just fine without it, and the shebang-line switches work well)
... and it doesn't seem to work (that is, with --shebang, nothing
happens).
Any thoughts on this?
Say you have a file "myscript", that starts with the line
#!/path/to/interpreter --foo --bar
If you run this as
./myscript --hello --world
then the args[] received by the interpreter program looks like this:
args[0] = "/path/to/interpreter"
args[1] = "--foo --bar"
args[2] = "./myscript"
args[3] = "--hello"
args[4] = "--world"
This is the case on every shell I've tried on Linux, at least. So if you
have multiple rdmd options, it should in principle need --shebang to know
that it is being run in a shebang line, so it can expand args[1].
I don't know why it works without --shebang for you, though. :)

Perhaps he's not passing any arguments to rdmd.
