This is the correct example.

#lang racket/base
(define ns (make-base-namespace))

(parameterize ([current-namespace ns]
               [current-security-guard
                (make-security-guard
                 (current-security-guard)
                 (λ (name path what)
                   (when (and (memq 'exists what)
                              (eq? name 'current-directory))
                     (printf "security guard: ~s ~s ~s\n" name path what)
                     (for ([x (in-list (continuation-mark-set->context
                                        (current-continuation-marks)))])
                       (printf "  ~s\n" x))
                     (printf "---\n")))
                 void
                 void)])
  (eval '(module c racket
           (variable-reference->module-source (#%variable-reference))))
  (eval '(require 'c)))
