I got my first hit using these patches.  I tried to save the file, and was
informed that it had changed on disk since my last save from DrRacket, and
did I want to overwrite it.  Here's what I got

last-saved-file-time: 1299611826
file-modified-time: 1299611832

These times are both quite close to when I tried to save.  In retrospect, I
should have added the output of (current-seconds) to the log output.  I
don't recall a six-second delay while trying to save.
