Thanks Kevin, I retried my test with your options, but had the same result
(see below). I'm getting this same segfault when trying to run racket as a
cgi process under apache, i.e. when one process is 'hosting' another, but I
don't know if the issues are related. The 8mb heap usage may be confusing
the issue: apache might be starving racket of memory if the cgi process
exceeds some limit, but why the segfault in valgrind?
