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

[Karl Svec]

I just upgraded my fluxus install to the latest git version, and the  
correct behavior for syntax errors has been restored.

I know that there's been a lot of discussion focused on Racket  
(particularly with respect to Snow Leopard). My experiences seem to  
prove that Racket is a drop-in replacement for PLT Scheme, at least on  
the Mac (simply link to Racket.framework instead of  
PLT_MrEd.framework). Maybe official development can  switch to Racket  
(PLT Scheme seems to be deprecated in favor of Racket anyway)?

In any case, problem solved!
