Mentioned this before, but running an app from DrRacket (while DrRacket remains in the background), it just keeps growing memory - and will continue to do so - until it crashes. Here’s an example screenshot (note the “memory limit” set at 512 MB as well). If I make the DrRacket window active then the memory is collected and drops all the way back down to ~500 MB, but if I walk away from the machine, in a few hours it’ll keep gobbling until it dies.

The rate of memory growth is ~1–2 MB/s

Happy to post an issue in GH if that would help/remind someone.

What version of Racket is this?

This seems very similar to https://github.com/racket/racket/issues/3832, which is supposedly fixed already if you use the current snapshot release

Ugh, app covered the version. It’s 8.1 CS.

Yeah, that issue looks spot on.


(Looks like I forgot to scroll down and see this already answered, again.)

All good :wink:
