bleugh!  my apologies, I misread your original message and didn't realise
that it was the COMPILER failing, not the program.

I've verified that 4.08.1 does indeed go into a loop on this example, in the
first pass of the simplifier it seems.  Furthermore, the latest sources
(before-ghci-branch) don't have this problem.  Thanks for the report,
another one to look into before 4.08.2.

Cheers,
