I'm reposting this, hopefully somebody has a clue. The following code
causes the linker to crash with a "Unexpected OPTLINK Termination" message.


I reduced it to the following: using the example that appears in 
http://www.dprogramming.com/dfl.php - the "classic Hello, world", and 
adding 2 lines (my lines are marked with comments before them):

//first change
import std.stream;
import dfl.all;

int main()
{
Form myForm;
Label myLabel;

//second change, this line is the one causing the linker error dialog-box
File conf = new File("junk.txt", FileMode.In | FileMode.Out);
myForm = new Form;
myForm.text = "DFL Example";

myLabel = new Label;
myLabel.text = "Hello, World";
myLabel.size = Size(100, 14);
myLabel.parent = myForm;

Application.run(myForm);

return 0;
}

If the File ctor line is commented-out, it compiles & runs.
As I mentioned, I'm using D version 0.120, DFL version 0.8.
Also this was tested with versions 0.116-0.119.

The following line is used to compile the file:
dmd MainForm.d phobos.lib dfl.lib

Some further trimming brought it down to:

import std.stream;
import dfl.all;
int main()
{
Form myForm = new Form;
File conf = new File;
return 0;
}

which doesn't work, versus:

import std.stream;
import dfl.all;
int main()
{
Form myForm;
File conf = new File;
return 0;
}

which does.

What am I doing wrong?
Please help.

Thanks,
Mike.
