int exists(char[] name)
{
*  return access(toStringz(name),0) != 0;

should be

*  return access(toStringz(name), 0) == 0;

0 is used as the success value for access, according to the man pages.  It should also return a bit/bool, not int.

fwiw, the unittests on Linux fail in std.math (line 247), std.file (on the issue you mention) and std.boxer (I can't remember which line).
