Interesting... What happens if you use core.memory.GC.malloc?

enum long size= 1300_000_000;           
byte * p = cast(byte *) malloc(size);
        
for(int i=0; i<size; i++)
        p[i]=1;

ulong sum=0;    
for(int i=0; i<size; i++)
   sum += p[i];         
                
writef("%d ", sum); // here written 1300000000
                

Well that proves malloc is actually allocating the memory.

I'd say file a bug report. This should definitely work.
