Hopefully it can contribute in some way to resolving this issue. http://caml.inria.fr/pub/ml-archives/caml- list/2003/01/e8ee9d44073ff9cb7d257fef86bc8f53.en.html Just my 2 cents. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7831#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
