DMD 0.111 on Windows,

import std.stream;
int main()
{
   File f;
   EndianStream stm;

   f = new File("foo.txt", FileMode.OutNew);
   stm = new EndianStream(f);

   stm.writeBOM(BOM.UTF8); // Here.

   stm.close();
   f.close();
   return 0;
}

Causes an Access Violation when using phobos.lib, but if I compile stream.d and link it in myself it works OK. Took too long to track this down :| Debugger gave me an irrelevant line number and said the AV was from MemoryStream's vtbl.

It looks like the phobos.lib that is in dmd.zip isn't quite right. When I recompile phobos without changing anything I get a slightly larger phobos.lib (579K instead of 574K) and, more importantly, the lib works. I think Walter should do a clean build on phobos - my guess is an old stream.obj was floating around and when he dropped in my updated stream.d the time-stamp on my file was probably older than the obj (I'm stretching, perhaps) and that fooled the dependency checker so it didn't rebuild stream.obj.  I can't explain the behavior otherwise.
