Have you tried Vladimir Panteleev's excellent DustMite utility? It takes
a (potentially very complicated) D source tree, a test command the
checks for the particular failure you're experiencing, and incrementally
reduces your code until it finds a minimal case that reproduces that
error. Very handy for reducing large complicated projects that triggers
an internal compiler error when it's infeasible to do the reduction by
hand.

It *may* sometimes take a long time to reduce the code, so it does help
if you can remove the obviously irrelevant parts by hand first, but in
any case it's better than trying to do the full reduction yourself --
you could let it run in the background while you work on something else
in the meantime.
