I don't think this is a bug. Its working as I would expect it to.

The identifier 'lala' is not a VARIABLE, its a reference to a string literal
and literals are in read-only memory on Linux, thus you can't write to it. The
segfault is the operating system's reaction to the attempt.

Use this instead ...

void main() {
        string lala = "     ".dup; // Take a writable copy of the literal.
        lala[0] = '1';
}
