I wonder what caused std.datetime to start running out of memory again. AFAIK, 
while its unit tests use a lot of memory, it hasn't been bad enough to run out 
of memory for a while. We really do need to get the memory situation in dmd 
fixed though so that CTFE and template-heavy modules can actually compile (and 
preferably compile reasonably efficiently). Stuff like std.regex and pegged, 
which are supposed to be major wins for us, end up running into serious issues 
with the current situation.

But I guess that that requires Don finding time to implement the required CTFE 
changes and one of the compiler devs finding time to fix up dmd's GC.
