Also occurs with `Word` and negative literals. The bug seems to be tied to the target's word size somehow, though: a 64-bit compiler does not panic on `Int32` and `0x80000000`, but a 32-bit compiler does. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10245> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
