D daemon & GC?

[JD via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Oops, I accidentally commented out the line allocating the memory 
in the example code... sorry.

	// this statement causes 
core.exception.InvalidMemoryOperationError
	// auto t = new char[4096];

should read:

	// this statement causes 
core.exception.InvalidMemoryOperationError
	auto t = new char[4096];

I can confirm that the daemon is not running with dmd 2.065:

$ ./testdaemon
Starting daemon mode, process id = 30147

$ ps -ef | grep testdaemon
   501 30149 35108   0  8:17pm ttys009    0:00.00 grep testdaemon

By removing the "close(STDOUT_FILENO);" from the daemon function, 
the InvalidMemoryOperationErrors appear on the screen.
