In pull request dlang#16, I closed off a dangerous memory-corruption problem by making the GC throw an exception in circumstances which otherwise would result in undefined behavior (and ultimately memory corruption). Since I was lazy and afraid to make larger changes, I reused the existing OutOfMemoryError class - however, since then, I've heard several times about D users being confused about OOM conditions when their app is clearly not lacking memory. This patch rectifies the problem, and introduces and documents a new exception class dedicated for invalid memory operations.
