[racket-dev] Fwd: GUI executables created with DrRacket fail

Neil,

Would it make sense to add a test that makes an executable and runs it. I'm
not sure if that could be added to any automated test scripts though.

The problem was due to changes in `scribble/manual` that didn't
preserve a delay on finding files in the "scribble" collection.
Scribble is referenced by `plot` in a way that needs `scribble/manual`
to work in an executable, and your program uses `plot`.

I've pushed a repair to Scribble.
