>> Is there a way to coerce racket to be more specific in its messages?
Although I don't know if it would do better with this particular error, generally errortrace gives much better stack traces: http://docs.racket-lang.org/errortrace/quick-instructions.html It does so by instrumenting the code. Which means it will run more slowly. Which I imagine is why it's not enabled by default. ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
