At the risk of great embarassment ... here's my program:

http://dekoppel.eu/tmp/pedupg.d

As per Rick's first suggestion (thanks) I added
import core.memory : GC;
main()
    GC.disable;
    GC.reserve(1024 * 1024 * 1024);

... to no avail.

thanks for all the help so far.
Gerald

ps. I am using GDC 4.9.2 and don't have DMD on that server
