           Summary: invalid free during AssertError destructor
           Product: GDC
           Version: 0.18
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: braddr@puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: braddr@puremagic.com


69     try
     70     {
     71         assert(false, "test 6 " ~ test5func());
     72         writefln("test 6 failed -- it didn't throw when it should
have");
     73     }
     74     catch (AssertError e)
     75     {
     76         if (e.msg == "test 6 message")
     77             writefln("test 6 passed ");
     78         else
     79             writefln("test 6 failed -- threw the wrong message");
     80     }

$ gdc -g -funittest -fdebug -o assert-test assert-test.d
$ ./assert-test
test 6 passed

$1 = {length = 14, ptr = 0x401d1fe0 "test 6 message"}

I can't reproduce this with dmd 0.160 so I'm assigning this to gdc for now.  It could well be something in the front end or phobos since I haven't dug into it much.
