[racket] drracket 5.0.2 does not start on Freebsd 8-stable

Do you get the same error every time? Are you running a 32-bit or
64-bit build?

Some things to try:

 * disable the JIT by setting the PLTMZNOJIT environment variable
   (in case it's a JIT problem)

 * run the CGC version instead of the 3m version (in case it's a GC
   problem); let me know if you need more information on how to try
   that

 * build the latest development version from 
       http://pre.racket-lang.org/installers/
   (in case is a GUI-layer problem)
