[racket] DrRacket never uses more than 1 GB?

The copying collector needs about as much space to copy into as it
allocates. Hence Racket keeps about 1GB free of the 2GB it is
allocated. (This was certainly the old behaviour, but I thought it was
made a bit less conservative so perhaps something else is going on.)
