I'm not sure where the discussion leaves us, but at the end of the day 
we're in the following situation:

1. I just svn up'ed a minute ago and built dmd. It shows version 2.048.

2. This program:

unittest
{
     int x = printf("inside unittest\n");
     assert(x == 100000);
}

void main(string args[])
{
     writeln("inside main");
}

prints this:

inside unittest
test(7): unittest failure
inside main

and exits with error code zero.

Please advise.
