     buf.printf(" %d", 6);
     // printf("buf = '%.*s'\n", buf.toString());
     return 0;
}

If I run this code I code crash with this backtrace:
(gdb) run

I do not think that this should happen.

I'm running DMD 0.69 on a Debian/unstable box Libc version 2.3.x


Another point. I wrote about a generic way for printing objects. Now it 
seems Outbuffer is the answer, unfortunatly there's not function for 
printing an Object. I wonder if this patch would work:
     void write(Object o){
         reserve(o.toString().size);
         write(o.toString());
}

The bugs seems to be with printf:
This works:
import outbuffer;
int main(){
     OutBuffer buf = new OutBuffer();

     //printf("buf = %p\n", buf);
     //printf("buf.offset = %x\n", buf.offset);
     assert(buf.offset == 0);
     buf.write("hello");
     buf.write(cast(byte)0x20);
     //buf.write("world");
     // buf.printf(" %d", 6);
     printf("buf = '%.*s'\n", buf.toString());
     return 0;
}

this crashes:
import outbuffer;
int main(){
     OutBuffer buf = new OutBuffer();

     //printf("buf = %p\n", buf);
     //printf("buf.offset = %x\n", buf.offset);
     assert(buf.offset == 0);
     buf.write("hello");
     buf.write(cast(byte)0x20);
     //buf.write("world");
     buf.printf(" %d", 6);
     printf("buf = '%.*s'\n", buf.toString());
     return 0;
}
