           Summary: [64-bit] new bool returns bogus address

import std.stdio;

void main() {
    auto b = new bool;
    stderr.writeln(b);
    *b = false;
}

The address I receive can't be right because it's in "no-man's land" part of x64 address space, at least according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 . At any rate, it segfaults the program.

Looking into it further, this seems to happen with any primitive type, for example, "new double", "new uint".  Amazingly, though, this code works:

import std.stdio;

void main() {
    auto b = (new bool[1]).ptr;
    stderr.writeln(b);
    *b = 1;
}
