I haven't tried fluxus with the release of plt 4 yet. I'm currently
running one of their nightly builds from a week or so before. I'll give it
a try soon - but I am slightly doubtful it will cause an error like that.

If you are now on linux, you would probably get more milage from using the
last release (fluxus 0.14) and installing plt 372 from here:
http://download.plt-scheme.org/drscheme/v372.html

cvs versions shouldn't really be used except for development, I guess
there is a rush on the cvs build at the moment because of the osx
improvements - I should have done a release for that... I'll try and get
one done soon.

cheers,
