Ok It happens on XP and only when I use Poseidon to try and Debug this.  I'm using 0.11 preview.

Ok here's the code(rather simple actually;I was only going to use this to test the debugger):
import tango.io.Console;

int main(char[][] args)
{
	char[] boo;
	Cout("Boo").flush;
	boo = Cin.get();
	Cout(boo).flush;
	Cin.get();
    return 0;
}

Now set up a project completely in Poseidon with this and press the little bug looking button.  Ok now it gives you the option to continue in a little debug screen.  Press the button that looks like play and you get:
Ddbg 0.11 beta preview2 - D Debugger

with the last part being the error that I know is an error though it may have started at unknown dll loaded.

I have no windows vista so can't try to reproduce it there and I am using Poseidon svn trunk and DMD 1.023 with tango Thriller and a couple of other libraries not called upon to compile this executable and thereby non-important.

Any more information you want. I'll let you know as you ask for it. I can give you the whole enviroment(changed from default) to let you know how poseidon is set up but it'll probably happen under different enviroments.  All you have to do is set the DDBG location, The compilers; In project properties point all your  tango libs into it with the tango import pointed also.  Set -g option and -debug option(these are set defaultly for debugging so you can count that as irrelevant) and add -L+-g(dash ell plus dash jee) in other options as it doesn't give direct linker communication which means have the compiler pass the linker flags.

Ok that's all,

Ps: works fine in code blocks so I'm thinking it's something to do with how Poiseidon sent it the UTF string as it is compiled under phobos according to many.
