 After a type-error on the command line, :e starts throwing an exception.
 To reproduce:
 {{{
 ~/src/ghc/inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 --interactive test.hs

 GHCi, version 7.11.20150128: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
 [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( test.hs, interpreted )
 Ok, modules loaded: Main.
 *Main> 1 + ()

 <interactive>:2:3:
     No instance for (Num ()) arising from a use of ‘+’
     In the expression: 1 + ()
     In an equation for ‘it’: it = 1 + ()
 *Main> :e
 *** Exception: <interactive>: canonicalizePath: does not exist (No such
 file or directory)
 *Main>
 }}}

 The contents of `test.hs` is not important as long as there is a file to
 edit.

 Editing works fine before the type-error on the command line.
