Yes++.
SOME kind of built-in core dump/stack trace ability in dmd would make debugging sessions go *much* faster than the current binary search for the offending line with writeflns.

    But Bill!  Isn't it just so easy to load your program into the debugger
and have it
    break on segfault?
}

I especially love tracking down really insidious segfaults which are data-dependent or which don't rear their head until half an hour into execution.  Yeah, it's completely practical to load the program into the debugger then.

I put shinichiro's stacktrace patch into Phobos a few months ago and LOVED it.  Of course it went away when I updated DMD, and I never got around to putting it back in, but..
