hi, i'm getting seg faults with the following program code.
i'm using Slack 9 linux with dmd v0.89.
I type dmd bug.d, it compiles, and when i run the program ./bug
I get the following output...

"bug: before crash
Segmentation fault"

the things is, I can't possibly understand what I'm doing wrong. 
If I am doing something wrong, can someone please point it out to me? 
or have I discovered a D bug? 

thx.

m_new is a null reference.  You need to allocate a cNew first.
 m_new.set(0); // is this so harmful?
 }

 cNew m_new;

Maybe if this problem pops up on the newsgroup enough, Walter will cave 
and make the compiler check. :)

For what it's worth (probably not much), I've already put this error on
