It took a while for mine for the custodian limit to be reached and for the expansion to run out of memory. It may be that the threshhold for the memory use is too high on some systems. Maybe the right thing is to set the default a bit lower?
Jon: if you open the "Racket" menu you should see a "Limit Memory..." menu item. How does DrRacket do if you change the number in there to 256 and then paste the program into the definitions window? Do you see the red message at the bottom of the screen or does DrRacket still run out of memory? Anthony: I don' thave a good solution for you, but I find that the menu key short cut (control-k for you?) for killing is more likely to get thru, because it requires a lot less event handling than the others.
