I build by new DoCon program under ghc-5.04.3,
installed from RPM to i386-unknown, RedHat Linux.
Under -Onot, the command make space=-M22m docon builds the thing successfully. And for less memory, say, ... 16m ..., it ends with
... pol/Pgcd_.hs:184: Warning: No explicit method nor default method for `toSquareFree' In the instance declaration for `GCDRing (Pol a)'

I expected of GHC to report of exhausted memory. Probably, such behavior is not fatal for may aims, but if you consider this as an interesting bug, I could send the archive.
I'll be interested to know whether you can repeat this with 6.0. If so, yes I'd like to see the sources. Cheers, Simon
