If I understand correctly, by default, Racket doesn't provide forms with stack trace information when running from the CLI by default. Does it work from within DrRacket? If so, look into the errortrace module, or add (require errortrace) to the top of the .rkt, or run it like this: racket -l errortrace test.rkt
