class MyThread : public Thread {
    int run() {
        new byte[1024*1024];
        return 0;
     }
}

int main(char[][] args) {
    auto t = new MyThread();
    t.start();
    t.wait();
    return 0;
}

The above program is totally broken on Mac due to a bug in the GC. Patch
available in pull request here:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/141 after pulling that
request, please add this example as a unittest or something, this embarrassment
have been in there since at least 1.064.

Cheers Jakob.
