I just did a test C++ app in Windows (MsDev) .. 
and I do catch exceptions thrown by a null ptr reference.
Which is what I was expecting to happen in D.

Of course I can check for a NULL ptr ...
but catching exceptions is for error handling too !!
bugs happen ;-)

One point I forgot to mention that might be important (??) : 
the D code is called by C(++) code 
(I'm using FLTK2 gui toolkit, calling D code on events)

I'll do some tests to see if I the same thing happens under 'normal' situations...

thx
