[racket] Recent GIT HEAD Breakage On Linux

Hi,

Recently (1-2 weeks?) GIT HEAD stopped working for me with the following
error.  This happens in DrRacket when I attempt to use the REPL (hit the
Run button, get the prompt, enter anything <rtn>, and BORK!! as below).
 Everything else in DrRacket is flawless, editing, TypedRacket performance,
check syntax etc.

This is on a Linux, Fedora 16 64 bit.  Racket is built fresh after a git
clean -fdx.
