[plt-scheme] questions about graphical debugger

I suspect you're using a language level that does some implicit
expansion of your code before evaluation.  The debugger steps through
the expanded code (whose semantics are somewhat different), and
attempts to map the state of the evaluator back to the original
source.  The issue of #<void> for top-level expressions has come up
before, and I'm not sure why it can't be fixed.  (Eli?)

If you run it in, for example, Pretty Big, I think the results will be
more in line with your expectations.
