[racket-dev] Fwd: Create executable problem

[ Nadeem sent me the file offline. ]

I've pushed a fix for the bug.

It is possible to work around it: the issue comes up when you copy and
paste the result of the 2htdp/image images back into the definitions
window. In this case, the image I noticed that does this is a flipped cat.
So you could delete that from the file and then put (presumably at the
top-level) a call to flip passing in the literal cat and then just use that
instead.

That should work with the released version.
