I think that when you go in territories where most people have
not done much coding in D, like allocating than 1 GB in one
shot, you hit some bugs. In general if some part of D is not
used a lot, you have to assume it's buggy. Please report in
Bugzilla the problems you have located.

After a little more investigation It seems that I'm getting an
OutOfMemoryError at around 1GB memory usage, regardless of the
granularity of allocation.
