What, the bug that annoyed me so much I fixed it myself?  Yeah, this should be gone by the next release.

Thanks! I've literally lost an entire day once when I was just starting using D and C together and had a calling convention mismatch. :x

It's worse than just calling conventions - try changing the parameter types! (or basically anything except the return type)

Yeah, examining the assembly, a major difference is that D passes one parameter in a register, whereas C pushes it on the stack.  This means you are going to have off-by-one corruption any time you access a parameter.
