Either I'm confused or the gc is

I had similar problems. Luckily, all my problems were issues with my code.

* In one case, the program was linked with dmd but I was loading a 
shared library (written again in D) but I was calling dlopen(). Instead, 
I had to call Runtime.loadLibrary.

* In another case, my D library was being loaded by Python. I had 
forgotten to initialize the D runtime. I had to call Runtime.initialize.

* In yet another case, I was calling myObject.close() in destructors, 
forgetting that myObject was already finalized by the GC.

It's some more work but are you aware of Dustmite, which may be able to 
magically reduce your issue to a minimal case?
