Was this ever resolved? I see the same thing and it is a problem for my class.
I'll reiterate what John said: calling this function seems to be the issue; the handin server works fine otherwise. Here's the implementation of this function, which seems pretty innocuous. (provide/contract (print-only-errors (() (boolean?) . ->* . void?))) (define (print-only-errors [print? true]) (set! print-only-errors? print?))
