It looks to me very much like it is a bug in Hugs.
ghc 4.04 does not suffer from this bug.
It's easy to make mistakes like this, which can often arise from forgetting
the assymetric nature of twos-complement signed integers, which have more
negative numbers than positive numbers. We once had a similar kind of bug
in the Mercury standard library implementation, where string__to_int was
not handling the most negative integer correctly. We fixed that one in
March 1998.
