Ah, of course.

Thanks. I removed the hPut and it runs smoothly. I had forgotten that haskell chooses the types dynamically.

Shouldn't haskell pick up that there is no 'mod' for Word8? I mean, shouldn't I get a nicer error message?

Hi there,

Not sure where to raise bugs in hackage libraries, so I'm posting here. 
If there is a better place, please let me know.

The following code crashes with a divide by zero error when using the 
package 'binary-0.4.'


Oh, hehe.  \x -> x `mod` 256 doesn't work if x :: Word8
That's your bug :)
