Given the above code, I think this is to be expected.  See this link for 
a description of what must be done to produce a dynamic library in D:

Basically, you must initialize the D compiler runtime, the garbage 
collector, and call module ctors when the library is loaded.  The 
current method for doing this kind of stinks, but it wouldn't be 
terribly difficult to improve.
