            _minit();                   // initialize module list
            _moduleCtor();              // run module constructors
            _moduleUnitTests();         // run module unit tests
            break;

        case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
            gc_term();                  // shut down GC
            break;

        case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
        case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
            // Multiple threads not supported yet
            return false;
    }
    g_hInst=hInstance;
    return true;
}

=== output ===
Loading DLL...
DLL loaded. Unloading...

=== comments ===
D's runtime (DMC libc) closes the standard streams when the DLL is unloaded.
Call stack:

DllEntryPoint
__cexit
_exit
___fcloseall
_fclose
_close

Needless to say, that shouldn't happen with DLLs.

Workaround: import std.stdio and add
            _fcloseallp = null;
somewhere in your DllMain.

I just noticed that this is somewhat documented at
http://digitalmars.com/d/dll.html#Dcode .
However, this applies not only when a program in D is the one loading the DLL.
Thus, it should be moved outside the "D code calling D code in DLLs" section,
and also into the "DLLs with a C Interface" source code template.

The workaround (setting _fcloseallp = null) also prevents any other open file
from being closed.

I think it should be fixed in the C-runtime library, where the handle for stdin/out/err is taken from a call to GetStdHandle(), and probably should not be closed when terminating.
