[Fluxus] Syntax errors crash fluxus 0.17rc5 w/ Racket on Mac OS X 10.5.8 PPC

[Karl Svec]

Dave,

I forgot to mention that I first tried fluxus with PLT Scheme 4.2.5  
(the PPC Mac binary release), and had the same problem. That's what  
made me try out Racket.

I'd love to hear from others using fluxus on the Mac.
