What about the debug/release difference? Isn't the point of
debug mode to allow checks such as assert, RangeError, etc?
"Segmentation fault: 11" prevents memory from corrupting, but
it isn't helpful in locating a bug.
It can in linux. Enable debug symbols, and core dumps, open in gdb
$ ulimit -c unlimited
$ dmd files.d -gc
$ gdb ./files core
