Yeah, well, in this case this allegedly "truly great Haskell
programmer" happened to be looking at the problem the wrong way. I
started out assuming it was a compiler or garbage collector bug and
didn't even think of trying to actually reason about the program using
the CBN calculus.
Blush!

ps Tell you what, I'll make up for it by making most of the fptools/hslib
libraries work in Hugs. If you have read-write access to the cvs
repository, all you have to do (as of 20 minutes ago) is:
cvs -d <something> checkout hugs98
cvs -d <something> checkout fptools/hslibs
cd hugs98/src/unix
./convert_hslibs ../../.. # path points to base of fptools tree
./configure --prefix=$HOME
cd ..
make install
where <something> is whatever you normally use to get the CVS
repository. Something like this
:ext:<your username>@cvs.haskell.org:/home/cvs/root
If you only have read access, you'll need to wait until it gets updated
(sometime tonight) and then use
:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs
with the password "cvs".
