D - BUG: Abstract dtors

I'm pretty sure that I've found a bug with abstract
classes. I'm not sure what the bug really is.

I've made an abstract class with a dtor. It compiles,
but doesn't link (can't find the dtor or something).
Removing the dtor helps.

All this is a bit strange. If dtors in abstract classes are
disallowed, it must produce a compile error. If they
are allowed, well then it's a bug.

Another strange thing and the reason i discovered this;
It is allowed to 'new' objects in abstract classes. As
long as that is allowed, dtors must be allowed too.

My opinion on what should be the correct behaviour?
'new'ing objects and having dtors must be allowed.
