I have seen this behaviour after a 'raco pkg remove': during the
post-removal re-setup, Racket ends up consuming all memory and swap on
my machine. This machine has 32G of RAM and 40-something G of swap, so
that's quite a lot of memory to fill :-)

I'm not sure, but I think rerunning 'raco setup' after that has happened
gets stuck doing the same thing.
