dirEntries throws exception on broken symlinks

I a using dirEntries to list recursively build a list of all
files in all subdirectories but dirEntries is throwing an
exception when it encounters a broken link.
I want just report the exception, then ignore the broken link and
then continue processing the rest of the dir's and files.
Do I need to create my own implementation of a dirEntries
function to solve this?
Also in the example code below I am getting a segfault when I try
to extract the errno from the exception object and I am not sure
why the segfault is happening, is it my code or a bug?
Example Code:
import std.stdio;
import std.file;
void main(string[] args)
{
try {
foreach (string name; dirEntries(args[1],
SpanMode.breadth))
{
writefln(name);
}
}
catch(Exception o) {
writefln(o.toString());
writefln("%d",(cast(FileException)o).errno);
}
}
