OK, I'm on board. This seems like an issue with codegen. Thank 
you for pasting the full output, this will help to reproduce.

In the meantime, can you try some things?

1. Try from the command line (not visual D).
2. Download the latest DMD (2.110 is 2 versions behind) and try 
again.

I'll try on my windows system and see if I can reproduce it.
