'out of memory' error compiling on windows

[le_afo]

hi,

i got an 'out of memory' error when compiling lage(r) d files
using dmd v1.061 on windows.
on freebsd/linux the same dmd version compiles the d source without problems.

interesting is that i get the same error when compiling a similar c source
code using the digital mars c compiler.

anyone knows which wall i'm hitting in the dmd/dmc compiler backend ?

the source files in question are generated using the following d program
(mkdata.d) from binary blobs (e.g. zip files) :

howto reproduce :
dmd mkdata
mkdata foo.zip > data.d
dmd -c data.d

for dmc:
mkdata -cxx foo.zip > data.c
dmc -c data.c

the problem starts when foo.zip is larger than 800kb giving a 4+ mb data.d
