[racket] [Scribble] problem generating PDF

Thanks all, it's effectively a problem with stabular. (TexLive 2013)

For now a fix "good enough" was to change \begin{stabular} with \begin{tabular}. 
Since it's not critical at this point, I'll wait until the workaround Robby mentions ships into the main distrib.

Cheers,
