I've observed similar problems that have been fixed in more recent  
("pre-release") versions of drscheme.  That is, the newer version of  
drscheme can open the apparently corrupted file. Try downloading the  
pre-release version of DrScheme and see whether this fixes the problem.

Hope this helps,
