You're talking about Doryen Library project, right?

My thought is that TCOD_console_flush is actually cdecl and must be
declared as extern(C), while you seem to declare it as extern(Windows)
which is stdcall.  What you get with linkdef is corrupted stack.  This
is why coffimplib is absolute best when you have the right COFF import
library: it allows to catch this sort of errors.
