It's why Optlink should be tossed in the trash bin where it 
belongs. Some mutant 20 year old x86 assembly "translated" to C 
hybrid that isn't being maintained any longer and is only 
introducing limitations into D's Windows implementation (even for 
-m32mscoff/-m64 where it isn't required) to circumvent Optlink's 
bugs.
