Some error-reporting functions tried to adjust indentation, which was a bad idea.

Yes, a ";" on the first line is meant to indicate that the error message continues on the next line, and the semi-colon shouldn't be there if one line is enough. I forgot to mention before: the new error-message convention is documented, and now it has its own section (9.2.1) in the Reference. _________________________ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
