Same with toInt, fromDouble. Evidently a mismatch between the exports of Hugs.Prelude and the imports of Prelude.hs.

These are internal functions of the Hugs implementation of the Prelude, and not part of standard Haskell. It's a bug that they're visible when no module is loaded. (The names in scope are always those in scope inside the current module, and in this case that's the Prelude.)
