Hi Pepe, Thanks for the confirmation. I added the ticket: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2976 Peter. Pepe Iborra wrote:

Hi Peter,

It looks like a bug to me too. I tested it and 6.6 displays the correct behaviour, while 6.8.1 shows the bug. You should open a ticket if you haven't done so yet.

Cheers, pepe

Hi,

Bindings displayed with ":show bindings" do not correspond to what can be observed by printing values explicitly for example using ":force". Is it supposed to work like that? If yes, why?

Notice the value and type reported for variable "test" after it has been redefined in the example at this post end.

Thanks, Peter.
