I was experimenting with arrays.. this is what i get on compiling

Internal error: ..\ztc\cgcs.c 353

this code

import std.stdio;

void main()
{
char[] s="bobef";
delete s[1..3];
writef(s~"\n");
}

No offense intended to Walter, but that has got to be some kind of record for the fewest number of bytes needed to kill the compiler.  (well at least in the past two years anyway)

Nice work!

No compiler errors with GDC, then again the code is invalid :

Wonder why are you trying to "delete" a char[] ?
Removing entries with delete only works with AA.

import std.stdio;

void main()
{
  char[] s="bobef";
  s = s[0..1] ~ s[3..s.length];
  writefln(s);
}

Should output what I think you meant ?
There is no slice delete syntax (yet)

Here goes a shorter dmd killer :)
class C{this(){super();}}

Zwang, I've added your ultra short version to DStress
