Fix std.conv unittest for *nix OS

[9rnsr]

I bumped the bug 4539. In *nix OS this generates segfault.

Merged.

This needs to be 'unfixed' at some point.. it's not really a 'fix' at all, it's a work around. The original code should work just fine. So, please annotate it with a pointer to the bug so that there's a chance of finding it?

parse takes the string by ref. Why then would you expect it to work with a string literal?

[braddr]

I expect that parse doesn't change the input, so a string literal should be perfectly valid as an input parameter.

[jmdavis]

parse does change the input. It pops the characters that it parses from the front of the string. That's why it takes the string by ref.

Ok.. clearly I'm not a user of that API yet, my apologies for the weak
review. I don't think 'consume' when I see 'parse'.
