This question is somewhat vague but I've been able to replicate it pretty reliably so I'll ask anyways. I'm running redex-check for a long time and after about 6-8 hours, drracket crashes with a "racket out of virtual memory" error. This is on Windows 7. The machine has lots of physical ram but no swap memory. Would this cause the crash? As another data point, I successfully ran the same redex-check'ing on a linux machine with less physical memory for several days. I've attached the relevant events from the windows log.
