I'd definitely recommend upgrading to the latest release 
(2.064.2) since it has lots of bug fixes since 2.061. But if your 
code is still saying this (your original post):

Then you're probably using your old code somewhere. The stripPars 
I've suggested does not use std.algorithm.move at all.

It's just changing the view of the data.

Ali's book covers this stuff in more detail:

D uses garbage collection by default and it's aware of and fine 
with this type of thing.
