digitalmars.D.learn - segfault when using std.parallelism and std.process.executeShell

Hi,

The following code dies with a segfault :

import std.stdio, std.parallelism, std.process;

void main() {
	auto a=["hello","world","goodbye"];
	foreach(s; parallel(a,1)) {
		auto ls=executeShell("echo "~s);
		writeln(ls.output);
	}
}

both in ldc and dmd. Removing either the "parallel" or running 
something other than executeShell (eg. just doing a writeln) 
works, which suggests to me that it's something about the way 
executeShell is interacting with parallel.

Pulling it up in lldb, I get :

test`D3std7process7environFNbNdNeZxPPa + 20, stop reason = 
EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x0)

test`D3std7process7environFNbNdNeZxPPa + 20

Any thoughts on what might be going wrong? Is executeShell 
somehow not threadsafe?

Thanks!

I don't know the original problem but that program works without any problem with the current dmd on github. Ali

Works for me on dmd v2.064 (current stable) on Windows.
