assert statements is not behaving as they used to do.
Here is a short test program.

gcc version 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu3)
Linux ubuntu 2.6.15-18-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 9 15:29:22 UTC 2006 i686
GNU/Linux

#!/bin/rdmd
import std.stdio;

void main() {
    char[] a = "";
    try {
        if (a.length != 66) {
            writefln("ASSERT NOW");
            assert(false);
        }
        writefln("What the f...");
    }
    catch {
        writefln("catch");
    }
}

--- Test run 3 (with rdmd)

gcc ass.o -o ass -g -lphobos -lpthread -lm

When I run it, it works fine. I suggest trying to link without the 
--gc-sections flag, maybe that is causing the problem.

Exception handling doesn't work on Linux when linking with --gc-sections.
