We thought we fixed it, and may have, for our definition of fixed :-).
Our definition is that MLton never grabs more than 85% of the RAM on
your machine.  If you have other stuff running that is consuming
memory, we don't pay attention to that.  I'd at least like to confirm
that this is working.  If you could do a compile with 

	mlton @MLton gc-messages gc-summary -- foo.sml

that would show us how much memory the runtime is grabbing.  Thanks.
