Segmentation fault while reading a file

I decided to attempt to write my own OBJ loading library, seeing 
as the spec for the format is readily available online.  Building 
with DMD and on Windows, and testing on [this 
model](https://learnopengl.com/data/models/backpack.zip), the 
code acts normally for a while, and then apparently segfaults 
after trying to call readln().

The code is as follows:

```d
module mesh;

public import gl3n.linalg;
public import gl3n.math;
import shader;
import bindbc.opengl;
import std.conv : to;
import texture;

struct Vertex
{
     vec3 position;
     vec3 normal;
     vec2 texCoord;
}

struct Mat
{
     vec3 ambient;
     vec3 diffuse;
     vec3 specular;
     vec3 emission;
     float alpha;
     float shiny;
     size_t[] diffuseTextures;
     size_t[] specularTextures;
     size_t[] ambientTextures; // won't be used in practice;
     size_t[] emissionTextures;
}

struct Texture
{
     uint id;
     string type;
}

class Mesh
{
     public:
         Vertex[] vertices;
         size_t[] indices;
         Texture[] textures;

         Mat[string] materials;

         this(Vertex[] vertices, size_t[] indices, Texture[] 
textures)
         {

             this.indices = indices.dup;
             this.textures = textures.dup;
             setupMesh();
         }

         this(string filename)

The various `writeln` statements were my attempt to find the 
cause of the SEGFAULT, and it apparently occurs at some point 
while executing `readln()` as part of the condition of the while 
loop. Am I doing something wrong that is leading to memory being 
illegally accessed, or is `readln` bugging out because the file 
(backpack.obj contained in the linked .zip file) is too large?

Thanks in advance.
