This is a bad interaction between drracket's automatic compilation
setup and the planet tools. In general, these planet functions expect
to be called in a fairly clean environment and, when they are called
via the planet command-line tool or when they are called by a
`(require (planet ...))', they do get that clean environment, but when
they are called directly here, they don't.

I'm not really sure if this is fixable, but I have not looked
carefully at it yet. (I will at least try to document the restriction
if I cannot lift it.)

The simplest thing, for now, is to just make sure you call these from,
say, a racket command-line script.

I've pushed a fix that likely fixes this bug.
