Ideally safe-D should conceptually give you isolates so that an

corrupted file and crash on a null-ptr (because that code path

continue. Yes, the library is buggy and only handles consistent 
files well, but as an application programmer that is fine.

The point is: for true isolation you'll need another process. If 
you are aware that it could die: let it be. Just restart it or 
throw the file away or whatever.
So given true isolation hlt on null ptr dereference isn't an 
issue.
