Hi, This line of code using the System.Time library crashes with ghc-6.6.1 in Windows XP: print (TOD 12387213982173921131231231 0) TOD is a constructor that creates a ClockTime. The crash seems to happen when a ClockTime with a large enough TOD is show'ed. Is this a known bug? /David

System.Time should probably be deprecated. The time package (Data.Time) is less likely to crash as much more of the code is written in Haskell rather than C. -- Ashley Yakeley

Ok, I'll try that instead. Actually, me and my co-worker first looked at Data.Time, but we thought it looked so complicated that we went along with System.Time instead. We just had a quick glance over the haddock docs, though. /David
