If I manually merge your fix into the thread.d of the 2.053 runtime 
(change m to __gshared in slock) the issue still exsits. After a while 
the game will stop with "unable to load thread context". When compiling 
with the current git revision, it no longer throws this exception but 
enters _on_out_of_memory and throws a exception from there (although I 
don't know where the call is coming from because the debugger can't 
fully resolve the stack). I'm pretty shure though that I'm not out of 
memory when this happens (windowns task manager shows that there is 1 
gig of memory free), and I also checked all desturctors to not allocate 
memory. So I don't have any clue where that could be coming from.
The out of memory exception occurs during a full collect.
