OK, I was is indeed the problem. I was thinking for some reason that s 
gets initialized inside nk_color_hex_rgb() but it's expecting to an 
array to work with. I actually noticed that couldn't, for the life of 
me, associate it to the cause of the resulting issue.

got you... this makes sense, but I'm doing it differently in D. See my 
response to Steven. I was only experiencing this issue in C.

Much appreciated.
