The following code is rather odd:
(define (mem-handler exc)
   (if (or (heap-overflow-exception? exc)
           (stack-overflow-exception? exc))
       (if (noncontinuable-exception? exc) (abort exc) exc)
       (with-exception-catcher error-handler (lambda () (raise exc)))))

Why do you test for noncontinuable-exceptions?  Why do you call with- 
exception-catcher with a thunk that immediately raises an exception?   
Might as well just do (error-handler exc).
What are you trying to accomplish?  I suggest you use this instead, to  
determine if it is causing your problem:

(define (mem-handler exc)
   (display-exception exc)
   (exit 1))
