OK, so we conclude that the original problem is now fixed? (Albeit we don't quite know how.)
If so, great; but let's add a regression test.
I'm not sure. There were two changes to `binary` relating to this ticket: several `INLINE`s were removed, and the generic classes were split. Are we hoping to be able to reintroduce the inlines ''and'' merge the classes? I don't think we're in a position to do that right now (I tried, and compiling Cabal got quite slow). Are we hoping just to be able to merge the classes? I'll try to see how that looks next. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9630#comment:51 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
