Thanks.

There's a quite annoying bug on Mac OS X that I've been able to reduce 
to a very simple test case. Depending on link order, static 
initializers might not work, resulting in, among other things, a 
non-functional writeln.

Also when that happens even 'throw' often does not work (execution 
continues after throw!). It seems linked. This makes 'enforce' 
non-functional and you get a null dereference when calling writeln 
instead of an exception.

The workaround seems to be to always link first the module containing 
'main'. But it's quite annoying that you can get a segfault with a 
program as simple as hello world split in two modules. Would it be 
possible to look at it?
