Hi Profs. Flatt and Findler,

Thanks for the prompt response! Long story short, the problem seems to
have been on Ubuntu's side, and was fixed in today's update.

I was using a fairly vanilla Ubuntu 11.04 (64-bit); the problem was that
upon launching DrRacket (either from the terminal or through Alt+F2) the
whole system would freeze, precluding any possibility of stack traces
&c. (The Racket REPL worked well.)

There was an update to Ubuntu's Unity interface about 9 hours ago [1],
and now DrRacket launches fine and flawlessly for me. There's no
specific mention of DrRacket in the changelog, but Bug #754063 [2] seems
similar: the whole system would sometimes freeze under certain
conditions. I haven't investigated further, but it seems that Ubuntu was
at least partly to blame.

Thanks again!
