I don't think this is a bug (I replied on the bug report): 
terminating the stream doesn't mean terminating the program, and 
if the program doesn't know how to handle a closed/eof/error'd 
stdin, it will just loop...

This FAQ link explains it pretty well for C++, which is pretty 
much the same thing as in D:
http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq/stream-input-failure.html
(the next few points are relevant too).

We could argue the design isn't optimal, yes, but it's not bugged.
