You have GOT to be kidding me! I'm supposed to know to delete the 
log file every time I run the program (or is it "change" the 
program?) even though there's zero mention of that in the man 
page for dmd? There's no mention that the logs are additive!

Is profile=gc additive? Who knows! Certainly not the 
documentation.
