Description

Following up on #122, if I do have ~/Library/Racket and my usual prefs and I try to render the 4 line file in drracket I get:

../../../../../MyApplications/dev/lisp/Racket/collects/racket/private/kw-file.rkt:102:2: open-input-file: `read' access denied for /Users/ryan/Library/Racket/6.9/pkgs/.LOCKpkgs.rktd

but I DO have read access to that file:

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #122 and reproducing the reported four-line render in DrRacket with an existing ~/Library/Racket directory and preferences. Inspect the failure at collects/racket/private/kw-file.rkt:102 involving /Users/ryan/Library/Racket/6.9/pkgs/.LOCKpkgs.rktd; done means rendering succeeds without the reported sandbox access error.
