The following code results in a Segmentation fault: 11. The reason seems to be because "any" is called indefinitely. But if I don't use type inference for the lambda it works correctly.

import algorithm = std.algorithm;

bool any (alias predicate, Range) (Range range)
{
    return algorithm.any!(predicate)(range);
}

void main ()
{
    auto arr = ["foo"];
    any!(e => e == "asd")(arr); // segfault
    // any!((string e) => e == "asd")(arr); // works
}

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Seems to be a lambda bug. Take a look at http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8774 especially last Walter's comments. He has fixed many similar issues but there are still some problems. This appears to be another one.
