Be careful with fromStringz. It doesn't allocate a new string, so 
the returned string can easily become corrupted if the C string 
it's referencing falls off the stack.

As for your problem with to!string, it isn't actually to!string 
that's the issue. It appears to have something to do with the 
memory allocated from the GC. I assume this is a shared library. 
Random thoughts -- Have you initialized DRuntime? Have you 
registered the calling thread with the GC?
