I've fixed the calloc calls too, but it doesn't help.  If I try to ping 
google's IP, which is 64.233.167.99 according to ping, I get "Pinging 
Error: 4invalid UTF-8 sequence".  Maybe my windows installation is 
screwed, it's getting really old...

Btw, I use dmd 0.148, haven't tried this with any other version yet.
