What's wrong with it? This is the first I've heard of any such issue.

Actually, like Adam pointed out, I got the HTTP request headers part
completely wrong. HTTP headers come from environment variables, and stdin is
just used for any data that's been posted. So that part's totally wrong. So
you'll want to just rip that part out like this:
// hellocgi.d
import std.conv;
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
// Send response headers
writeln("Status: 200 OK");
writeln("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8");
writeln();
// Send content
writeln("<b><i>Hello world</i></b>");
}

First I've heard of it. What's the problem?
