[racket] Racket v5.3.3

No problem, Matthew, I know that I've been less-than-specific, here's what
I can say:

Since 5.3.2, I've seen about 7 crashes, they all act the same: Win7
suddenly says "the program is not responding".  At least twice it's
happened when I hit the debugger button in DrRacket.  Otherwise it feels
random (at least once when clicking on the definitions window, at least
once when simply running a program in the interactions pane).

Thanks,
-Joe
