           Summary: Compiler segfault for simple nested structure
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Mac OS X

struct xlref
{
    ushort rwFirst;
    ushort rwLast;
    ubyte colFirst;
    ubyte colLast;
}

struct xlmref
{
    ushort count;
    xlref reflist;
}

WORKAROUNDS
===========
Hope this helps in debugging. See
http://forum.dlang.org/post/n4rbeh$2eir$1@digitalmars.com

1) Changing the order of the members of xlmref seems to be a workaround:

struct xlmref
{
    xlref reflist;
    ushort count;
}

2) Changing the 2x ubyte to ubyte[2] seems to be a workaround:

struct xlref
{
     ushort rwFirst;
     ushort rwLast;
     ubyte[2] cols;
}
