I am not sure why it does not work when I append --heap 512 at the end. But it works for me when I append it after mit-scheme.exe"

... mit-scheme.exe"  --heap 512 --library ...

I think it is related to http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?31710. Removing --edit on the shortcut made it work for me. – Irvin Denzel Torcuato Aug 20 '17 at 06:45

Right click the link to the application and select properties. Edit the target:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\MIT-GNU Scheme\bin\mit-scheme.exe" --library "C:\Program Files (x86)\MIT-GNU Scheme\lib" --edit

Add:

--heap 512

Create a new system variable called

MITSCHEME_HEAP_SIZE

and set its value to 512

I had to update to 9.2 and add --heap 512 after "C:\Program Files (x86)\MIT-GNU Scheme\bin\mit-scheme.exe"
