[racket] Do I have a memory leak?
I'm not sure I understand, but the code that you reference has
`port->bytes`, which will read the content of the port completely into
memory. If that port corresponds to the very, very large file, then you
could run out of memory by trying to load the file completely into
memory. Is that relevant?
