Yes. That was a major problem. In April this year there were about 110 
known causes of compiler crashes and internal compiler errors. I've 
attacked that problem with considerable success. In the latest release 
of DMD1, that is down to 4 (and I've submitted a patch for one of 
those). There are 6 left for DMD2. Of course new ones can creep in when 
new features are added.

If you stick to DMD1, you shouldn't encounter them any more. This is 
largely a solved problem.
