Does str.reverse actually return anything?
I think you need to do that as:
   str.reverse;
   char[] reversed = str;

However, if it's not supposed to return anything, then it's a bug that
it compiles.
If it's supposed to return something, then it's a bug that it crashes.
Does it work doing it as two lines?
