Well that's a very perceptive question. I ran it using a Racket mode for Emacs that I cobbled together back when ,en and enter! were having trouble reloading modules, and when Quack had an issue with Emacs 24. One thing led to another and I ended up with an Emacs mode, which I've simply kept using out of inertia. It's on GitHub (not that I've been seeking for anyone else to use it, just so I can access it): https://github.com/greghendershott/racket-mode The part you're asking about is this: https://github.com/greghendershott/racket-mode/blob/master/sandbox.rkt I'll wait while you and e.g. Eli wince so hard that you sprain a muscle ... go ahead. This is probably wrong on multiple levels. Sorry! Anyway, taking that out of the picture: >> I had the bright idea of trying this again, in DrRacket 5.90.0.3. >> >> 2.

Granted, I don't require Planet 1 packages frequently, and the last time was many months ago. But I'm pretty sure I don't recall seeing an error, much less one about a write permission (which seems wrong, I'm pretty sure it's write-able). This message is largely what made me think something was wonky with 5.90.0.3. _________________________ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
