D daemon & GC?

Be aware that you should comment out:
//	close(STDOUT_FILENO);
//	close(STDERR_FILENO);

A daemon normally detaches itself from the terminal by closing 
the STD* files. All D's runtime exception messages will not 
appear in that case.

Good point. I'll try that.

Yes, it writes a dot to the logfile every 2 seconds :-)
