[racket] why a segfault on the command line, but not in DrRacket?

In DrRacket, what's the setting for Racket | Limit Memory -- a
specific amount or Unlimited? If it's not already Unlimited, by
changing to that can you get the problem to occur in DrR, too?

IOW perhaps the segfault doesn't happen with smaller, more frequent GCs.

(That wouldn't explain the segfault. But it might suggest a temporary
work-around for command-line Racket: to use custodian-limit-memory or
to use a sandbox with a memory limit -- at whatever value DrR was
using when not segfaulting?)
