dmd 1.042 Phobos OpenGl + SDL (Derelict)

mem usage (winxp task manager) = 60MB,  peak = 120MB
gc.fullCollect is run just before mainloop, no change in mem usage

after 10 minutes or so mem usage has stabilized at 70MB
I have localized this to toStringz usage and think this is why tango's 
toStringz has a temp argument.

When I minimize and normalize the window, mem usage goes to 4MB.

I think I don't understand memory (de)allocations.. might be a bad thing :)
