[racket-dev] current-read-interaction

I guess that you're returning something to DrRacket that it is
interpreting as success and then (perhaps evaluating and) asking the
reader again and again. It is hard to say, tho, without seeing what
honu-read-syntax does. Of course, it could also be a bug somewhere.

Can you make a little program that stands alone that I can try out?
Probably just take the below and change it so that honu-read-syntax is
replaced with whatever it would return in the test case you're trying?
