Here is what i did:

c:\>windbg winsamp.exe 
Press F5 to start running, then just close the winsamp.exe.

Couple of secs later windbg crashed with 'The instruction at 0x731444fe
referenced memory at 0x00000000...' while it is unloading the system modules. 

winsamp.exe is built from the win32 sample verbatim, and windbg.exe is provided
by dmd compiler package.

I am using win XP and both dmd 2.019 or dmd 1.034, so guess it is not dmd
version specific. Am I the the only one seeing this?

When MS updated XP, they broke windbg maybe a year ago. The same windbg 
now always fails on exit. Fortunately, it doesn't fail before you debug 
your program, just on exit.

I don't think there's anything I can do about this.

Ah, finally I found the culprit!
It is the unlocker.exe running in the background, and that crashes windbg
running D windows app consistently when it exits. (does not affect the console
app).
Took me a long time to find out.
Thanks for your concerns!

 What's unlocker.exe ?

Google seems to suggest it's a Worm virus...
A virus scan is probably in order!

It is a explorer extension + system tray util that pops up whenever you try to
delete a file/folder but get annoying messages from Windows like:
-Access is denied
-There has been a sharing violation.
-The source or destination file may be in use.
-The file is in use by another program or user..etc
It will list the exes/dlls that holds the corresponding file handle. Comes in
handy many times.
