Don't call .toString directly. Instead, use std.format.format:

```d
import std;
void main() {
        auto x = BigInt("123123123123123123123123123123123123");

string s = format("%s", x); // this gives you the string representation

        writeln(s); // prints "123123123123123123123123123123123123"

        // If you need to convert to dchar[]:
        dstring ds = s.to!(dchar[]);

// Or if you want a direct formatting into dchar[] without going

        // through a string intermediate:
        auto app = appender!(dchar[]);
        app.formattedWrite("%s", x");
        dchar[] dcharArray = app.data; // now you have your dchar[]
}
```

Hope this is clear.

Thank you.  This worked.
