[racket] sandbox error

I have a couple of those:

/usr/lib/libcrypto.so
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0

I haven't changed anything, and the error is still here (thank
goodness for Bohr bugs). Anyway, the error doesn't say anything about
"/usr/lib/libcrypto.so" it wants exists? access to
"/usr/lib/libcrypto", which I find a little strange. Is it looking for
a directory?
