Sorry, I use GDB with GDC.  I don't know about DMD, it may work with GDB 
on linux.  You could try installing GDC and see if the results are the 
same.  That may help to rule out the compiler itself.

That also requires using some of the previous examples to append '\0' first.

Can you install a program that uses SDL and are you running 64-bit? 
Could be possible you're trying to call a 64-bit function from 32-bit code.

Every suggestion so far should take care of that issue.
