This tells me nothing about where the error occurred in *my*
program!
Dmd needs to be modified so that errors try to show from the
source code. This should be obvious the reasons, if it is not
possible, make it possible! There are no excuses why dmd should
make me go on an easter egg hunt when a seg fault occurs.
There are many issues and ideas reported in bugzilla about this:
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14885
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5944 etc. Here's the one
that specifically tackles the `FileException` and the problem
you're reporting: https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13543
