gl2ps is not exported because it is not necessary beyond DLL.
gl2ps declaration in DLL is following:
static GL2PScontext *gl2ps = NULL;
for example:
The crash occurs in exported gl2psBeginPage function. (in attachment)
Declaration of above function in D is following:
extern (C) GLint gl2psBeginPage;	// static linking

DLL is little long but very simple, so I can send it to you.
