Unfortunately, I haven't figured out a particularly minimal test case for this, and it happens in a Tango module, but GDC 0.24 hangs while trying to compile a certain module. This is a regression.
If I can figure out where, I'll upload the testcase with the rest of Tango cut out, but, if you check out the latest svn of Tango (http://svn.dsource.org/projects/tango/trunk/ ) and try to compile tango/io/compress/Zlib.d ( gdc -c tango/io/compress/Zlib.d ), the compiler will hang. I've caused this with GDC 0.24 against GCC 4.1.2 on GNU/Linux. Testing this does not require installing the Tango core.
$ gdc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/opt/gdc
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.1.2 20070214 ( (gdc 0.24, using dmd 1.020))

Non-minimal test case
The files which can reproduce the test case, cut out of Tango.

Reproducable here, on gcc-5363 / Mac OS X 10.4
hangs at the end of:

Issue seems related to the CHUNKSIZE, as it applies to the arrays created.
private const CHUNKSIZE = 16 * 1024; seems to make the compiler survive...
