This is by language design, the code is not using COW. (should use a a.dup, before trying to assign anything)

See http://www.digitalmars.com/d/dcompiler.html#linux :
Differences from Win32 version
* String literals are read-only. Attempting to write to them will cause a
segment violation.
Same goes for GDC, see the "writable-strings" settings.

Writing to string literals causes undefined behavior.
