As far as I understand, the bug is in snn.lib's scanf.

snn.lib is Digital Mars's implementation of the C standard 
library (aka C runtime library or just C runtime). By default, 
some version of the C runtime is linked into every D program, so 
that you (and phobos and druntime) can use it. snn.lib is used 
for Windows x86. For other targets, other implementations of the 
C runtime are used (which don't have that bug).
