Have a 1G file named "one_gigabyte_file". You can use the following program to
create it:

import std.stdio;

void foo()
{
    auto file = File("one_gigabyte_file", "w");
    auto data = new ubyte[](100 * 1024 * 1024);

    foreach (i; 0 .. 10) {
        file.rawWrite(data);
    }
}

void main()
{
    foo();
}

Then, run the following program:

import std.stdio;

void foo()
{
    auto file = File("one_gigabyte_file", "r");
    auto data = new ubyte[](100 * 1024 * 1024);

    foreach (i; 0 .. 10) {
        file.rawRead(data);
    }
}

void main()
{
    for (size_t i; true; ++i) {
        writeln(i);
        foo();
    }
}

The problem is, the memory consumption of the program grows continuously until
it is terminated by core.exception.OutOfMemoryError.

We don't see this issue under Linux.

Thank you,
Ali
