DMD32 D Compiler v2.059 on Linux (Fedora 17)

All I know, is that it wasn't working, and I finally got it to 
work when I used the new keyword.

I tried the code in just main() like bearophile's post, and it 
worked just fine.  I also removed the new keyword from my program 
and it compiled.

The error message that I got yesterday with the example code 
returned an error message that had something do with void and 0 
arguments.

Thanks to both of you for the information.
