digitalmars.D.bugs - Umm.. more array .init problems

Just downloaded DMD114 and found that the .init property of arrays sadly no

consistent this way, but.. could there perhaps be a .clear property then?

Anyway I found the problem when I was looking for another way to quickly 
initialize the contents of an array.  I decided to see what exactly the 
.init property was returning, when I came across this.. bug?

import std.stdio;

void main()
{
 int[] a;
 a.length=2;
 a[0]=5;
 a[1]=10;
 int[] b=a.init;
 writefln(b[0],", ",b.length);
}

This causes an access violation on the line "int[] b=a.init".

However, if I change the first two lines like so:

import std.stdio;

void main()
{
 int[] a=new int[2];
 a[0]=5;
 a[1]=10;
 int[] b=a.init;
 writefln(b[0],", ",b.length);
}

It works.

Uhh.. is this not a problem?  I'd say a MAV for no reason is a problem.

I can't reproduce this on Linux. However your code has to segfault due
to b[0] (b.length is 0).
