Casting to string is often a mistake, here it might be the
problem because you didn't check for the zero terminator, so the
writeln prints all the garbage at the end of the buffer too.
I'd try something like
char[128] buf = 0; // initialize it all to zeroes
// fill it here with the function
printf("%s\n", buf.ptr); // display with printf which respects 0
and see what happens, if that works, the problem is just
converting from C string back to D string, which you can do with
to!string(buf.ptr) or another slicing method which is more
efficient if you search for the zero yourself.
