It's an error in v371. I remember fixing the problem that you reported
at some point, and it must have been after v371.


I tried v371.3 from SVN, and the compact build work ok on my machine.
You might try that:

 http://svn.plt-scheme.org/plt/branches/v3

It's difficult to keep extra GCs working well, so the compact GC
sometimes doesn't work. But it doesn't completely rot away because I
sometimes find the extra GC useful for debugging.
