Some of you have already discovered that GHC 6.0 has a nasty bug: if you go ghci foo\Baz.hs and there is any error at all in Baz.hs, then GHC deletes the source file! This seems like excessive punishment for a type error.

And it doesn't even require a type error as an excuse for punishment!

.. if the source file is specified as ./file.hs

Example:

$ echo "module T where" > T.hs && ghc --make ./T.hs -v ... Deleting: ./T.hs

This is on linux, don't know about windows..

Now fixed, thanks for the report. Cheers, Simon
