It turns out my computer was literally running out of

I don't know why. Maybe I missed something. I use a Windows
10, DMD v2.091 with x86_mscoff.
Wait, x86 is 32-bit. Max address space is 4GB. So maybe it
was just trying to use 4GB and running out of memory?

Good catch, but still, should it use so much memory?
Definitely not. It shouldn't use a lot of memory when
unzipping as it should be done in chunks!
You guys aren't getting it:
```
ubyte[] expand(ArchiveMember de);
Decompress the contents of a member.
Fills in properties extractVersion, flags, compressionMethod,
time, crc32, compressedSize, expandedSize, expandedData[],
name[], extra[].
```
Where is it supposed to store that `ubyte[]`?
-Steve
It's not supposed, but a new implementation can utilize something
like a stream.
