I thought I had fixed that one with push d185c2a0df45 in the git repo.

The line

 (require (planet "williams/science/examples/science-test.ss"))

works for me (Mac OS X, 32-bit Windows, 64-bit Windows). Am I trying
the right example?

I see that problem (i.e., errors when I use the `require' line above),
and it's related to recent changes for `raco link'. I've pushed a
repair in time for tonight's build.


BTW, the bytecode optimizer notices that `unsafe-fl*' is applied to
three arguments in "statistics.rkt". Looks like it's on line 713.
