Allow a thread to be GCed when it is blocked on a place
channel for reading and the place channel's write end
is inaccessible.
GC is limited to threads that do not participate in cycles
of such threads, where the otherwise unerachable threads
are blocked on place channels that are reachable among the
set of threads. In other words, the GC finds the greatest
fix point (as measured by the threads to retain) instead of
least fix point --- which isn't what you want, but finding
the least fix point seems to require significant extra GC
machinery across places.
This improvement was intended to solve the same problem as

The Racket Programming Language =============================== Instructions for building Racket from source are in src/README. The main executables in this package: * DrRacket: Racket's integrated development environment (start here!). * racket: command-line tool for running Racket programs. * raco: command-line tool for compilation, documentation, and more. More Information ---------------- For Racket documentation, use DrRacket's `Help' menu, run the `Racket Documentation' application (Windows or Mac OS X), or run `raco docs' from a command line.
