A simple solution would be to add another option -script (or just -s), with the
syntax

dmd -s filename [args...]

Another problem with the scripting functionality is that it currently requires scripts to be named *.d, which can be a bit awkward for scripts. The -s option can be designed to work around this as well.

Also note that arguments given in-file are problematic, since the line
#!/usr/bin/dmd -debug=3 -inline -s myarg1 myarg2
will give the entire string "-debug=3 -inline -s myarg1 myarg2" as ONE argument
to DMD.

Hope it's the next version :D

I doubt that a stack dump would be of much use to normal users (unless, of course, the normal users for your program are *nixheads, in which case they're _all_ developers and would understand what a stack dump is, but if your program runs in *nix, there's a 99.999% probably that it's open-source anyway, so they can build a debug build and get a stack dump if they want one ;)  whoo).

If the dump could be captured to a char[] a program could send it into a bug tracking database of some kind.

I can just see it now:

"Mommy mommy, I stubbed my tow on a null pointer! Can you patch me up??"  :-P

OMG... has anyone worked with JBOSS?  Stacktraces are ridiculous there in release builds.  I'm so glad stack traces are NO for release.

Any word on Linux support for backtraces?

I imagine something analogous would work with Linux, but I haven't investigated it.

As pointed out by Dunne further down, stacktraces just works, as long as Dwarf debug info is correctly available and gdb is patched for D mangling.
