Nevermind, sorry! I didn't mark the callbacks extern(C++)! ;/ 
They were being called so it never occurred to me that they were 
the source of the problem. They were corrupting the stack and 
creating odd behavior in the driver code. I guess now it makes 
sense, since the crash happened soon after the callback.

D is great! Long live D! ;) Sorry for the noise!
