[racket-dev] DrRacket 5.3 suddenly crashing every few minutes on Win7/64

I don't know if this is the same crash you're seeing, but I just saw
one. Below is the stacktrace. It opened me up to line 195 of setjump.c
(but this code doesn't look human-written).

  if (! (local = ((b -> buf ) . gcvs = (intptr_t ) __gc_var_stack__ ,
(b -> buf ) . gcvs_cnt = (intptr_t ) (__gc_var_stack__ [1 ] ) ,
(scheme_jit_setjmp_prepare ((b -> buf ) . jb ) , (_setjmp (((b -> buf
) . jb ) -> jb ) ) ) ) ) ) {
