Any ideas how to disable this abomination?

Can you show us an example of how you're redirecting stderr..

 dmd stuff 2>&1


I searched the DMD sources, just in case the message "abnormal program  
termination" was DMD specific, and I found nothing.  Then I searched all  
files and the string appears in the dmd.exe binary, making me suspect the  
compiler used to produce dmd.exe put it there, so perhaps there is a dmc  
option to disable it.

If that's not it..

What Windows are you on?  Do you have visual studio or another JIT  
debugger installed?

I am on Windows 7 x64 and I have been playing with a test.exe (built in VS  
in debug mode).

I can't get my version of windows to output "abnormal program termination"  
no matter what I tried to make my application do assert, throw exception,  
divide by zero, illegal pointer/memory write, etc.

If I do an assert(0) I see:

...>test
Assertion failed: 0, file ...\test.cpp, line 27

plus a popup window saying:

"Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library"
"Debug Error!
  Program:
  ...

  This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual  
way.
  Please contact the application's support team for more information.

  (Press Retry to debug the application)"

I suspect the popup is a hook into the JIT debugger I have installed  
(visual studio).  By default some versions of windows use DrWatson  
(drwtsn32.exe), later versions use something else.

Google found me this tho, might be helpful:

Windows 7 x32 with visual studio 11 beta

 I am on Windows 7 x64 and I have been playing with a test.exe (built in
 VS in debug mode).

 I can't get my version of windows to output "abnormal program
 termination" no matter what I tried to make my application do assert,

If you like, you could try building the unreduced case

download pyd

https://bitbucket.org/ariovistus/pyd

from top dir, run (python setup.py install)
go to examples/wrap, run (python setup.py build)

Ok.  I downloaded and installed python.  Then pyd.

I run "python setup.py build" in examples\wrap and see the ICE.

I run "python setup.py build 1>a.txt 2>&1" and get a popup box :)

So, we're on the same page at least..

How do I get/see the full dmd.exe command line being executed?

(I have never used python.. so go slow)
