Yes, that was it. The dell was a 32 bit system, and the desktop a 64. I changed everything from Int to Integer, and now both agree. Thanks for the pointer.

Isn't that just terrible? I hate the fact that Haskell was defined to neither trap the overflow or just treat everything as Integer [like Scheme]. A sacrifice of program safety in the name of efficiency.

If you want to use Integer for everything, just do that. -- mithrandi, i Ainil en-Balandor, a faer Ambar
