VisualD: VisualDComServer.exe crashes frequently inside D_Parser.dll to stackoverflow.

Thans for reply.

Unfortunately I don't have a clue what it's parsing when it 
crashes. It pretty much just randomly crashes (suddenly pops 
crash dialog (typically after 10 to 30 min)) as I'm typing code. 
I really haven't seen any crashes directly after attempting to 
use autocomplete, goto definition etc.

My codebase size is 15K+ loc, so isolating the crash is not 
trivial.

Is there any kind of log, debug message etc. for the visuald 
parser?
It would really help if I knew what type it was parsing when it 
crashed.
