On a clean install, trying to install my Moby planet package in DrRacket 5.0.1 runs out of memory, leaving the PLaneT package incorrectly installed.
The environment is: DrRacket with a memory ceiling of 64 MBs, on a clean installation with no PLaneT packages installed). The following program tries to trigger installation: #lang racket (require (planet dyoo/moby:3:6/info)) It appears to be running out of memory doing the bytecode compilation of the package. What's bad about the situation is that, at this point, restarting DrRacket will have those modules in the PLaneT cache, but documentation won't have been generated, and users trying to use Moby will see an extraordinary performance hit. _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
