Subject: [Haskell-beginners] Writing huge result of `show` to file
results in out of memory

I know that there are other ways of doing it, I just want to understand
where lies the problem here.
I just read the realworldhaskell book by O'Reilly, in one section, Lazy I/O
[0], it's explained
that there should be no problem writing big strings, without consuming the
whole string
to files, however big they are.
I would appreciate it if someone could point out the problem there.
Thanks

lazy means evaluated when needed. However when a string is evaluated, it is
evaluated fully, I guess.
