[racket] Custom Keybindings - Editor Insert Poofed

Robby,

OK, I reduced my keybindings.rkt file to exactly the below.

#lang s-exp framework/keybinding-lang
;; insert λ
(keybinding "c:\\" (λ (editor evt)
      (pretty-print editor)
      (send editor insert "λ")))

When I run drracket from the command line what I see printed is

ray at rpr:~$ /usr/local/racket/bin/drracket
#(struct:object:...cts/version/tool.rkt:176:9 ...)

This matches the popup box error as well.  Screenshot is here.

So it doesn't appear to be an instance of editor% but I don't know why.
 I'm running Linux Ubuntu 12.10.  It happens in #lang racket.
