I've pushed a change that simply removes the call to normal-case-path. I expected to be able to break DrRacket after making that change, but I wasn't able to. Still, since this kind of change can lead to all kinds of bad behavior in surprising places, I'd be most grateful if others got that commit and started using things and let me know if goes wrong ...
Thanks for the help / reminders of this problem, too.... Robby On Sat, Mar 2, 2013 at 2:10 PM, David T.
