If you want to know what happens on my linux box

   1 module hellotest;
   2
   3 import std.stdio;
   4
   5 void main()
   6 {
   7         writeln("hello world.");
   8 }

anthony at LinuxGen12:~/projects/temp$ ./hellotest
hello world.
anthony at LinuxGen12:~/projects/temp$ ./hellotest 1</dev/null; echo 
status : $?
status : 0
