core.exception.OutOfMemoryError@src\core\exception.d(693):
Memory allocation failed

This short program doesn't work at Windows 32. Why GC doesn't
release memory in case of its shortage in Windows! This is bug?
You are appending 100_000_000 Times.
Note that this will take up much more then 100 MB.
Because the allocator cannot always grow the array.
All previously allocated blocks are still in scope and could be
reached.
Therefore the memory is not released.
At least this is what I think happens.
it would help more if you could post the specs of your machine
and what else is running on it.
