D.gnu - Problem with multi-dimensional associative arrays?

void main() {

}

It appears that GDC doesn't know how to handle multi-dimensional AAs.

(My environment: i686-apple-darwin8-gdc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc.
build 5363) (gdc 0.23, using dmd 1.007), I'm using a pre-compiled binary of GDC
downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gdcmac)

Try inserting this between those two lines:

stuff["brian"] = null;

I haven't tested it, but that's how I've always got stuff like that to work.

That worked, thank you! I was trying things like

stuff["brian"] = new int[char[]];

which doesn't compile, I don't know why I didn't think of just setting it to
null. Since my original example works with DMD on Windows, though, I think I
better still file a bug report.
