[racket-dev] crash running raco setup with racket 6.1

Hi David,

FWIW here is how I built the libraries for DrRacket from scratch on OS X.
I found out that it was important that the libcairo loaded by DrRacket
was built with the same versions of the "helper libraries" that
DrRacket loads.

The readme has the details:
    https://github.com/soegaard/racket-osx-libs

It might me worth doubling checking that the versions of the shared
libaries that Racket loads matches your expectations.

Then again, maybe there were an API change in Cairo that
caused the problem - and if so the above is irrelevant.
