[plt-scheme] can't run SICP "generic operations" code in PLT Scheme 4.1

Hey, I rewrote the make-table routine using the hash procedures, and
it is definitely happier!  See below.

Thanks too for the pointer to that Version 4.x FAQ.  It is long, but
clearly discussing the critical issues in a concise fashion.  A big
help.

;SICP generic operations table re-written with hash
(define (make-table)
  (let ((local-table (make-hash)))
    (define (lookup key-1 key-2)
      (hash-ref local-table (list key-1 key-2) #f))
    (define (insert! key-1 key-2 value)
      (hash-set! local-table (list key-1 key-2) value)
      'ok)
    (define (dispatch m)
      (cond ((eq? m 'lookup-proc) lookup)
            ((eq? m 'insert-proc!) insert!)
            (else (error "Unknown operation -- TABLE" m))))
    dispatch))

(define operation-table (make-table))
(define get (operation-table 'lookup-proc))
(define put (operation-table 'insert-proc!))
