[racket-dev] memory consumption (bug?) on Debian/kFreeBSD-i386

Looking back at previous messages reminds me that you may be using
`--enable-cgcdefault'. Is that still the case? If so, the memory
problem makes sense, because conservative GC has problems at the scale
of `raco setup'.


To make 3m work right, "src/racket/gc2/sighand.c" needs a
__FreeBSD_kernel__ on line 128:

#if defined(__FreeBSD__) || defined(__FreeBSD_kernel__) || defined(__NetBSD__) || defined(__OpenBSD__)

Does that avoid the bus error that you saw before?
