this situation:

and, in particular, not do this:
<a x="<b></b>
Looking into this a bit, it isnt' clear how to do this without actually
parsing the whole buffer, something that doesn't seem to be worth
the effort with the amount of use that the XML boxes seem to get
So, for now: closes PR 5440
The `date*' structure type is an extension of `date' with
`nanosecond' and `time-zone-name' fields.
The `seconds->date' function now accepts a real and returns a
`date*'. The fractional part of its argument goes into the
`nanosecond' field.
Macros and other tools that need syntax privilege used
`(current-code-inspector)' at the module top-level to try to
capture the right code inspector at load time. It's more
consistent to instead use the enclosing module's declaration-time
inspector, and `var-ref->mod-decl-insp' provides that. The
new function works only on references to anonymous variables,
which limits access to the inspector.
The real function name is longer, of course.
The GC problem was related to generational GC and the way constant
values are associated to JIT-generated code. See `retaining_data'.
The stack-overflow problems affects the JIT, module expansion,
and module invocation.
Previously, when trying to `enter!' into a module, an exception would
abort the whole thing, leaving the repl where it was. This behavior can
be very confusing:
> (module foo racket/base (define x 123) (error "bleh!"))
> (enter! 'foo)
bleh!
> x
reference to undefined identifier: x
> (enter! 'foo)
> x
123
Things are a little better with xrepl, since the prompt always indicates
the module that you're in. Still, it's unfortunate that a module with
an error is more likely to be something you'd want to debug -- and most
people are likely to miss the fact that entering a second time will work.
So make `enter!' catch exceptions when requiring the module, change the
namespace, and then re-raise the exception so the user sees it and is
left in the expected namespace.
Since that requires `racket/draw', which requires libcairo, which is
missing on some build machines. It might be needed in the future, but
for now it's better to make it easier to add build machines.
Finalization for a place channel used a recursive, non-atomic
function, which meant that a thread switch could happen during
place-channel finalization, leaving the new thread with the
master GC and generally confused. (The random-message test
found the bug right away on my machine.)
We already have a non-recursive, non-atomic function to traverse
place messages, so collapse all modes into that one implementation.
Along the way, problems with empty structs (found by random tester)
and checking of file descriptors (test added) also fixed.
