[plt-scheme] plt-scheme 4.0 error - set!: cannot modify a constant:

I don't think this is about v4.

In v3xx, you use the MzScheme langauge (or similar), and do trace in the 
REPL, which is all fine

In v4 now, you are using the module language (#lang scheme, or similar), 
and still want to do the trace in REPL, which is not allowed.

Just move your

(require (lib "trace.ss"))
(trace foo)

lines into the body of the module will solve the problem.
