writefln et al sensibly does *not* assume that a pointer to char is a C string, for memory safety purposes.

Print the result of std.string.fromStringz[1] instead:

writeln(fromStringz(pString));
writefln("%s", fromStringz(pString));

Or use `to` like this:

import std.conv;
writefln("%s", pString.to!(string));
