[racket] beware DrRacket and Dexpot interaction
In Windows 7:
Over the past four days I've been using DrRacket intensively. During
this time it has crash on me at least twice a day, each time exiting
with error code 3 (according to the Puttycyg shell).
I eventually noticed that Dexpot (a virtual window manager for
Windows), which has otherwise been running fine, seemed to be
exhibiting some instability -- not immediately after the DrRacket
crashes, but also roughly 1-2 times a day.
So I turned off Dexpot entirely. For 1.5 days since, DrRacket has not
crashed at all.
If you're using Dexpot, you may want to be wary of this.
For reference, I was running 1.5.9, Build 1503. I have just upgraded
to the latest version/build and will start using the two together
again to see whether this continues.
[Of course, I can't rule out a hardware failure either.]
