Yes, I do the same compulsive save/run thing.

And, here's another strange thing I happened to experience today. I
can pretty reliably reproduce this: Take a BSL file with a bunch of
definitions, check-expects, etc. and put a comment box into the file.
Then do Cmd+T / Cmd+S  in quick succession, such that the Cmd+S
happens when only the first "Welcome to DrRacket..." line appears in
the interactions, before the "Language: ..." and "All tests pass"
lines appear. Then what I get is an error:

Welcome to DrRacket, version
5.0.1.7--2010-09-30(9755d565bd03967df6be84f96b0e39a483572de1/a) [3m].
Language: Beginning Student with List Abbreviations; memory limit: 128 MB.
text-input-port: editor has changed since port was opened:
(instantiate (class ...) ...)

I'm pretty sure this depends on having a comment box in the file; with
a plain text source code file, it doesn't happen.
