Okay. The cause of problem has been solved with good-old
writeln("DEBUG"); method :)
Cause is trying to access outside of array (e.g. array[$]). But I
didn't like that fact that scope(failure) is called for that
properly, but no other error was seen.
Environment: MonoDevelop, Linux x64, DMD 2.070, MonoD, running in
Debug mode.
