Runtime?

[Wulfklaue via Digitalmars-d]

Great ... accidentally pressed send.

So my question was:

Why does even a simple empty empty statement like this, compiled 
with DMD, show under windows a almost 1.7MB memory usage?

void main()
{
   while(true){}
}

The same in C/C++ is simply 0.1MB. This is why i asked the 
question if the runtime is somehow responsible?
