I've seen the UTF problem with fixed length strings (writefln has the 
same problem). Initializing them to 0 before using fixes the problem .

Are you sure that writefln or writef (or format / sformat) aren't 
throwing an exception rather than ddbg ?


Set a break point to the 1st line of code (main or winmain) and then r. 
Step thru the program to see where it dies.
