free(x) doesn't clear the contents of x.  In fact it's completely
illegal and I'm surprised your compiler allows it.  Not only can
arrays not be implicitly cast to pointers, but free() is a C stdlib
function, and using free() to free memory allocated by the D GC is a
terrible idea.

Did you mean "delete x;"?
