That sounds odd.  Can you make a small reproducible test case, open a ticket, 
and attach the test?

Thanks

Subject: [Haskell-cafe] GHC API: runStmt not taking into account reloaded module

It's late here and I'm probably overlooking something stupid, so I'd like if 
somebody could put my nose on it... I'm using the GHC API to evaluate 
statements. I use runStmt to get a RunResult, lookupName to get the ID for the 
bound names, obtainTermFromId to get the term and showTerm to display it. So I 
can call a function from the loaded module with some parameters and get the 
result. Good!
However, if I reload a module and I change the implementation of the function, 
runStmt still returns the old value! I know the reload worked because if I 
added new names, getNamesInScope returns the new names. What do I need to do to 
make sure the new function definitions are used? I've perused the source code 
of InteractiveEval and ghci but nothing stood out. I am calling setContext 
after load.

Thanks a million!
