I've reported some bugs.
Here is a bug list which is not fixed in DMD 0.78.
If you understand it, then neglect me , Mr.Walter.

1. std.file in Win9x is not fixed.

dmd\src\file.d(55):
>    useWfuncs = (GetVersion() >= 0x80000000);

it is wrong.

<    useWfuncs = !(GetVersion() >= 0x80000000);

is right.

2. GC can't allocate a large buffer in Win98 http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?D/21162

3.struct name crash compiler http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?D/21027

Sorry , my explanation was not enough.
When I use the struct which name is module name and (at the same time)
struct or class or interface name , compiler would crash :

--- ver.d
module ver;
struct ver {}

--- main.d
private import ver;
ver v; // compiler crash here!

That's it! that what was making the compiler crash at
some point on leds development! I had to abandone
that version and revert to the previous one.

Any time I make some non trivial change on my
D projects I hold my breath during the compilation...

I get:

main.d(2): ver is used as a type

What dmd command line are you using? It does not fail when I try:
    dmd main

I tryed:
\dmd\bin\dmd main
(main.d and ver.d exist in c:\ ,i.e. c:\main.d , c:\ver.d)

I've tested in WindowsXP/2k/98. the results are the same.

if I had have compiler source all or debug build version DMD compiler, I could trace and debug compiler's bug by symbolic debugger...

please try this code.

== mod.d ==
// empty

== test.d ==
import mod;
mod var;


- result:

C:\Documents and Settings\ahiru>dmd -v
Digital Mars D Compiler v0.78
// snip

C:\Documents and Settings\ahiru>dmd -v test
parse     test
semantic  test

A metoo for win98se(german):
`dmd main' delivers:
| DMD verursachte einen Fehler durch eine ungültige Seite in Modul
| <Unbekannt> bei 0000:e8004996.

Surprising that the address is the same.

So long.

I had this exact same problem, I believe...  I narrowed it down to having a class declared in a separate d file and then instanciating an object of that class.  It did the same on Windows and linux.  I sent an email to Walter and I he replied that it was fixed...  Can't wait for next release  :)
