I'm not completely clear on this one either, and I'd like more help.
Can you say specifically what steps you take to get an error with no
message, starting from a fresh DrRacket (without any 3rd party addins
like bootsrap (ie, if you need those, tell what you do to get them)).
This may seem a little bit pedantic, but it can make a big difference
in our ability to hone in on what is going wrong.

Thanks,
