[racket] frustrated with error message

I believe that this is the broken version. It's so old I cannot really recall the details. [Someone correct me if I am wrong.] The easiest fix is to upgrade. 

For now, tell students not to insert images or graphical syntax into drracket. Instead build images with the primitives. 

We will release a new version soon (5.2) and I urge you to upgrade to that one as soon as your tech guy can handle it.
