Walter,
The file middle.txt at the URL above has lines numbered up to 555. If I read it into a string and std.stdio.write the string to the console, the output is truncated at line 261.
import std.file;
import std.stdio;
import std.c.stdio;
void main()
{
string s2 = cast(immutable(char[])) std.file.read("middle.txt");
std.stdio.write(s2);
printf("%s", (s2 ~ "\x00").ptr);
}
It isn't std.file.read, as I got similar behavior when the string was output to the console from the program that generated middle.txt - then it was at line 221.
I checked the string for embedded zeroes and 0x1a when it was doing the fail at 221, but it seemed to be OK.
printf works as expected.
I'm sorry I can't come up with anything more compact than this, and I'm probably missing something stupid.

format.d
1623: short precision = short.max - 1;
2010: auto s = obj[0 .. f.precision < $ ? f.precision : $];
2016: w.write(s);
try std.stdio.write("%s",s2);

I've fixed the problem, will be part of the next release.
