D strings are generally not null-terminated (except for literals). Before passing them to a C function you need to add a trailing null. Try using std.conv.toStringz instead of casting the pointer yourself. T -- A programming language should be a toolbox for the programmer to draw upon, not a minefield of dangerous explosives that you have to very carefully avoid touching in the wrong way.
