I hope so to .. but I don't have a clue.  I'm not at all familiar with the  
output of dumpobj so I can't really debug this any further.  TBH I was  
banking on you not finding the symbols or them being radically different  
or something strange.

Have you tried dmd in verbose mode, perhaps that'll give a clue.
