Hi Iain

To get back to you on the stack corruption issue, I noticed some 
bugs in a dependency library I wrote in C.  I was using my old C 
library in new ways now that I have D bindings and ended up 
flushing some bugs out of the woodwork.  When I fixed the bugs, 
the stack corruption issue under GDC disappeared.  Not sure why 
they didn't appear in the DMD binaries, but who knows, vagaries 
of stack layout I guess.

Thanks for the quick reply to my initial message, sorry about the 
false alarm.

Also, appreciate your work on GDC!  I wish GDC was included in 
the package list for CentOS 8 (our production servers) but that's 
true of many packages that I end up building from source on 
CentOS.

Take Care,
