Yeah in line with Neal's suggestion, I had added a FakeString module that was imported by SysDeps as PackedString and just provided unpackPS = id and packString = id I had done something silly where that first one didn't build properly, but now that that's fixed I'm getting errors I don't really understand on 5 of the tests. I'll probably look at them tonight & ask questions about how chunks of the code work.
hmm I would have thought that String and PackedString should behave identical, apart from the 'packedness'. Still there could be some subtle semantic difference ...
Yeah, a several of the five failures were caused by running out of memory. Now, I thought String vs. PackedString shouldn't be that much of a difference anymore? Are there strictness differences between the two that could be causing the String version to build up huge thunks? Maybe I'll be a wench and change it to ByteString.Char8 and see what happens.
