digitalmars.D - The dll example doesn't seem to work

I'm trying to write a dll using the example given in the manual.
Unfortunately, my application crashes when I try to execute it. I turned to
the example provided in the sample folder to see if I was making an error, but
when I tried to execute test.exe I got the same error.
Does anyone have any working examples describing the creation of dlls for the
win32 platform? Any help would be appreciated.

The dmd\samples\d\mydll works for me. Below is the output for build.bat 
and test.exe. The implib tool is something people are often missing 
because it is a part of DMC not DMD. You can get it from DMC's Basic 
Utilities (http://ftp.digitalmars.com/bup.zip).
