Windows, latest ldc x86 as I said(whatever is on the d/l page). I 
tried multiple versions.

I did attach a debugger. As I said, it happened on an assert. 
Instead of telling me the assert error(e.g., assert("This is an 
error");) it gives a kernel error(unhandled win32 exception or 
whatever). DMD gives the assert error correctly on the same code. 
Either ldc is crashing in the assert or it simply isn't asserting 
it correctly.
