Is it a duplicate? Judging only from gdb backtrace those are different issues. I haven't checked in druntime though.

As in the other issue, the problem is that a negative constant becomes a huge size_t value, which should trigger an OutOfMemoryError, but segfaults instead. So IMHO it's the same issue. It may well be that the druntime presents the wrong code in two different places, but it is probably two copies of the same logic, as enlarging (not in place) and allocating perform the same checks and the same steps.

But of course anybody is free to reopen this if it's deemed necessary.
