--- Comment #1 from | <dhasenan@gmail.com> ---
The reason people talk about 32-bit applications likely leaking memory is because D's current GC sometimes can't distinguish an integer from a pointer (so-called false pointers).

The GC will scan all global variables, every thread stack, and every allocation (probably only every allocation of a type that might include pointers, but it's been a while since I looked into it).

It's possible that there is no 12MB section of memory that does not have a false pointer to it, but that's not likely.
