Description
If I open rhombus/private/string.rkt from the rhombus-prototype repository, DrRacket quickly completes background expansion but memory use (as reported in the bottom corner) continues growing without bound (eg from 800MB to 8GB in a couple minutes). Nothing appears to be happening while this memory usage growth happens, and it hasn't happened with other Rhombus programs that I've noticed.

Research direction
Open rhombus/private/string.rkt from the rhombus-prototype repository in DrRacket and reproduce the background-expansion memory growth described in the issue. Start by identifying what continues running after expansion completes; done means opening the file no longer causes unbounded memory growth.
