I tried to compile the parser as a library with the GC disabled,
but running the example in dmd/src/examples/test_parser.d results
in a segmentation fault. Running with the GC disabled completes
successfully, so I guess there still are some corner cases, though
I am noob when it comes to GCed dmd. The patch you mentioned does 
not
fix the case presented in [1].
