[plt-scheme] DrScheme becomes unstable after using (system ...) function, any suggestions?

Thanks for the info :)

Any idea when 372 might be out?

I have tried building MzScheme/MrEd from SVN trunk with VS Express 2008 
but couldn't build it correctly. (VS Express 2005 download page is 
currently bugged so I cannot get it.) The builds fail with error 
messages about undefined references. Given my complete lack of knowhow 
about VS, Windows C programming etc, I doubt that I can get them working 
anytime soon.
