[racket-dev] call-with-limits memory bound isn't actually bounding memory usage

Ah, that would probably be the problem. Without having to modify too much code, would the proper way to call a function entirely within the sandbox be to use dynamic-require in the thunk, rather than require in the module using call-with-limits?

Just to make sure, is the memory being allocated reachable from outside 
the sandbox?

What might be going on here?
