  If you're running out of memory, you might be in a deeply
recursed procedure that hasn't set any global variables,
so when it aborts, many megabytes become garbage.  It's
not that unusual.

(define (factorial k n)
     (if (= n 0)
          (k 1)
           (factorial (lambda (v) (k (* n v))) (- n 1) )))
(factorial (lambda (v) v) 100000000000000000000000000000000)

     Or is that not included in what you're talking about?

Lynn
