Rather nasty bug that silently fails. Linux DMD64 D Compiler v2.065

import std.stdio;
import std.array;
import std.conv;
import std.digest.crc;
import std.random;

class Foo
{
    public string generateHash()
    {
        // The following variable is untyped
        // yet no compiler error is thrown.
        text = Random(unpredictableSeed).front.to!(string);

        // text is null here.
        return hexDigest!(CRC32)(text).array.to!(string);
    }
}

void main(string[] args)
{
    auto foo = new Foo();

    writefln("%s", foo.generateHash());
}
