Make a file called "mod.d" inside of folder "pkg" with these contents:

module pkg.mod;
import pkg;

When running this under DMD 2.059 on Windows 7 (and possibly other platforms, I
haven't checked):

dmd mod.d

This crashes the compiler, instead of giving error output.

I don't know exactly where it is happening in the code, because I couldn't
retrieve the debug symbols when I launched VS2010's debugger, but the
disassembly tells me that some piece of code is trying to indirect [ecx] when
ecx=0x00000000 (a null pointer dereference).
