output?
I'm using dmd 2.063.2 on win8.

This is all that -v gives me before crashing..

binary    C:\dmd\windows\bin\dmd.exe
version   v2.063.2
config    C:\dmd\windows\bin\sc.ini
parse     app

I've tried compiling just object files, and an exe and removed 
all -debug -g etc.

Is there any way to get more verbose info from dmd?

Run it via GDB, OllyDBG, [putyourfavouritedebugerhere]

Example:
gdb /c/d/dmd2/bin/dmd.exe
gdb> r /path/to/your/code.d

Way over my head. Tried OllyDBG, but I wasn't able to set the 
current working directory...

The error is Access Violation when reading 00000004.
I cannot be more helpful as I don't know assembly.

I suggest to look for stack overflows in the program (and/or 
increase the stack space). Since some time it has stopped giving 
a "stack overflow" message.

I don't see any dmd option to increase stack space.
I tried adding -L/STACK:16000000, but it still crashes.
