digitalmars.D.bugs - has anyone run into this befor? [~OT]

I was compiling the D grammar using my parser generator and (after getting 
by the 3 page long error messages) I was hopeful that it would build. However 
DMD then seg-v'ed.

I have been seeing some SEGVs occasionally in my template-rich program, 
too.  I haven't tracked 'em down enough for a bug report, yet, but at 
least one (where DMD took up GBs, like your example) turned out to be a 
recursive template in my code.  I found it and fixed it without doing 
the due dilligence of snipping the code enough to post a DMD bug report. :(

However, I have other SEGVs (one is hitting me right now) where DMD 
doesn't consume much memory.  Gonna have to actually file this one, once 
I get it isolated.

BTW I don't what I found is a bug, I think it counts as abuse of DMD!
