[racket] Help generating PDF documents with Scribble

scribble --pdf works fine if I leave out the number-style tag, yes.
If I do not specify a target file, I get the error saying I should specify one.

Note: I obfuscated user-specific path information with **** below.

scribble --latex ... generates a .tex file as expected, with numbered entries, but compiling the .tex file
example_paper2.tex in my LaTeX editor hangs. See below, snipped for brevity:
-------------------
Command Line:   latex.exe --src --interaction=errorstopmode --synctex=-1 "example_paper2.tex"
Startup Folder: C:\Sp13\notes

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (MiKTeX 2.9)
entering extended mode
(C:\*****\example_paper2.tex
...

("C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\tex\latex\wasysym\uwasy.fd")
-----------------------------

WRT stack trace, when I run scribble --pdf example_paper2.scrbl
and ctl-c, the stacktrace is

delete-file: cannot delete file
  path: C:\*****\AppData\Local\Temp\scribble-tex-to-pdf-13639620241363962024190\example_paper2.aux

I guess that `scribble --pdf' normally works for you, and

     scribble --latex example_paper2.scrbl

similarly hangs?

Does interrupting Scribble with Ctl-C provide a stack trace?
