have you removed the previous trace.log in the folder you 
executed the binary in?

You have GOT to be kidding me! I'm supposed to know to delete the 
log file every time I run the program (or is it "change" the 
program?) even though there's zero mention of that in the man 
page for dmd? There's no mention that the logs are additive!

https://dlang.org/dmd-windows.html

Is profile=gc additive? Who knows! Certainly not the 
documentation.

I'm not mad at him, to be clear. I'm mad at the constant barrage 
of gotchas from lack of proper documentation.
