I'm not seeing any bad behavior, trying on both the mac and under windows. Specifically, I started up a fresh DrRacket, passing rotating-triangle.rkt on the command-line. I then clicked the "gc" button in the corner until the number stabilized, created a new tab, closed rotating-triangle.rkt, and then re-opened it, and repeated the process several times. I didn't see any growth. I also added something like this to one of DrRacket's memory tests (it was already doing something similar; I just added opening a file, but I added a much bigger file, just in case), and the test is passing (it uses weak boxes to ensure that certain objects are gc'able). How did you measure the number of seconds and the number of megabytes? Robby _________________________ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
