If I guess correctly about the version that you're running, that's an
internal stack segment used to implement a continuation. The count
might go up if you have a non-tail recursion, for example.

(You can find those numbers in "src/racket/src/stypes.h". And I'll add
more information about these low-level debugging tools to the Inside
manual.)
