Bug#500939: gdc-4.2-compiled test.d segfaults when it works on gdc-4.1

[Thomas Viehmann <tv@beamnet.de>]

Package: gdc-4.2
Version: 0.25-4.2.4-3
Severity: important

Hi Arthur, D maintainers,

testing gdc-4.2 with the attached test.d (a minimal testcase for a
segfault that also happens with the hello world on the digital mars D
intro page[1]), the result segfaults. This does not happen with gdc-4.1.

$ gdc-4.1 x.d  ; ./a.out
a
0
b
$ gdc-4.2 x.d  ; ./a.out
a
Segmentation fault
$

This is on today's sid on amd64.

Kind regards

T.
