Yesterday I ran `yum update' on an Amazon Linux 32-bit instance. It updated quite a bit more than I expected.

Later, I did a reboot of the system. Now, any racket program seems to "hang" using 99% of the CPU when launched. Simplest example: $ racket Welcome to Racket v5.1.1. > (displayln "hello") hello > (require racket/date) At this point it becomes non-responsive, even to C-c. It can't be killed with `sudo kill <pid>'. It will only die with `sudo kill -9 <pid>'. Note that it doesn't seem to matter what I require (could be racket/date, rackunit, etc.), it's the `require' itself that seems to be broken. Seemingly one of the packages above caused the breakage. I'll continue to try to figure this out on my own, but thought I'd post in case someone might quickly realize "oh it's probably X".
