Ahh yes, Boehm. According to this wikipedia page  
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boehm_garbage_collector it is also the GC  
that is used by D, with some minor modifications of course. If this is  
really the case then we really would be pushing the boundaries of GC  
research. My finger has been hovering over the buy link for the GC book  
for days ... I'm getting closer. I may not be much of compiler guy, but  
memory management and GC's have been a subject near and dear to my heart  
for some years now.
