  foreach(i, ref x; vec) { x = cast(double) i; }

  if (args.length > 1 && args[1] == "bar") { vec[] *= 0.5; }
}

This program compiles with no warnings. However, when I run it, I get a bus
error regardless of the
value of the first command-line argument, or whether it's present at all. I
also get bus error if I
eliminate the conditional altogether. AFAICT, the array operation I'm doing on
vec is legitimate
according to

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/arrays.html

and the fact that the program bombs out regardless of the outcome of the test
in the conditional is
particularly mystifying.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I'm using dmd 2.045 on linux here, and that example works fine, so I'd 
guess it's an OS X specific bug if you can't get it working with newer 
versions of dmd... There were some issues to do with array operations 
that have been fixed recently, so I'd try a newer dmd. If that doesn't 
fix it report a bug.
