To me it gives:
object.Exception at src\rt\arraycat.d(31): lengths don't match for array copy

When you assign to a fixed-sized array the source and destination lengths must match (this is not true for global variables. In Bugzilla I have asked to remove this special case, despite some people say this is not a special case).
