I can't reproduce this but I think it worths mentioning. I just finished
debugging a memory leak. It turned out to be compiler problem (dmd 1.035
windows). I had two big static arrays in a class member function (around 200kb
each) and using my app as usual was causing huge memory leaks. Replacing these
with dynamic arrays solved it.

In another case importing a file (static const a = import("myfile.txt")), where
myfile was around 1.2mb was causing huge huge memory leaks. The actual code in
the function that had this import was called only once in the program lifetime
but it was messing something so just using the rest of the program was causing
progressive memory leaks... Moving this in the exe as rcdata solved it.

Sorry I can't reproduce these in a small test case but it is definitely a
compiler bug so I guess it worths mentioning anyway...

Sounds like a static array is getting incorrectly marked as containing
pointers. 
I think it would be valid to say that the data from an import(filename) NEVER 
contains pointers.

Thank you for the clue. So if this is the case maybe the problem is the GC, not
dmd?
