Thank you for your fast response.
Actually. wait. I wasn't thinking right. You never get a backtrace from a segfault. There _is_ a bug on 64-bit Linux which makes it so that backtraces don't work, but you don't get a stacktrace from a segfault regardless. The way to handle that is to get a core dump and use gdb on it. However, unfortunately, 64-bit programs generated by dmd don't seem to be work with gdb (though 32-bit programs will). It's a result of the fact that 64-bit support for dmd is pretty new. Still, they're annoying bugs. In any case, the best way to handle your problem would probably be to compile your program as 32-bit, run it with core dumps enabled, and use gdb on it. That should show you where the problem is unless the segfault is 64-bit specific for some reason. - Jonathan M Davis
