[racket-dev] Release for v5.0.2 has begun

I downloaded the pre-release version this morning - 10/20 (I believe it was
a build from 10/16). The plot package and plot extensions in the science
collection all work as expected. But, I am getting different numeric answers
for some of my science collection routines (for example, the gamma function)
and some of my newer code (for example, FFT) either fails with an error
message or DrRacket just dies. All of this code uses unsafe operations and
the problem may lie there somewhere. I'll try digging more deeply this
evening.
