As in you're seeing the same problem Manu is, or as in you're not seeing it
on Mac OS X, just like I'm not seeing it on FreeBSD? I'd guess the latter
given how close FreeBSD and Mac OS X are, but the way you said it wasn't
clear.

Well, with D name mangling, I don't see any reason for it to differ across
systems, since it's defined by us. It's the C++ name mangling that would be
different depending on the target, since that involves different C++
compilers, and for better or worse, the C++ folks never agreed on a standard
for name mangling.
