I have found this problem. (DMD 0.81)
When I run this program with any arguments, it works as I expect.
But without arguments, it seems to me, that the length property of array arg can
not be queried. An exception is thrown.

Is it a bug or am I completely confused?

Best regards,

Nope, no array bug, printf() bug.  Change your %s specifiers to %.*s and it works fine.  This is because D's strings are of arbitrary length and not null-terminated.  Your hint should have been that your "...Aborting" message never showed up in the error report.  :)
