Ah thanks for telling me :)

The loaded byte array in the union type was indeed the same as the saved 
one, so I immediately thought it was crashing because of some hidden 
pointer for timezone or something which was then pointing to garbage at 
reloading, causing the crash of the ".toISOString" call.



Ah, sorry, I serialize exactly long value and use it as SysTime, for 
example:
```D
struct Foo
{
        long value;

        void toString(Writer)(ref Writer w) const
                if (isOutputRange!(Writer, char))
        {
                import std.datetime: SysTime;

                value.SysTime.toUTC.toISOExtString(w);
        }
}
```

So it is not exactly what you said
