You don't need to clear the original array but it should be

Is this a 32-bit platform? If so, the reason may be the
conservative GC that dmd uses. What happens is, unrelated
32-bit values in other parts of the program may look like
pointers into the allocated space and the GC thinks that they
are still in use.

The system is Windows Vista 64bit. DMD is 2.062.
