Since the file is opened in text mode (which is the default),

You could either open the file in binary mode (use "wb" as the
second argument), or always use "\n" for line separators.
Thank you so much, I was already getting crazy about this. I just
checked whether this information is included in library
documentation for std.stdio.
If I havent't miss s.th. this isn't mentioned directly but only
as a side information in this sentence: Use std.ascii.newline for
portability (unless the file was opened in text mode).
I will create a bug report, for users without C knowledge, this
is a trap:)
Kind regards
