Hi guys,
Me again I'm afraid... A quick look at the source looks like both GHC and NHC will simply pass on errors from the OS, so for example with module Main where import IO import Directory main :: IO() main = do catch (createDirectory "this/does/not/exist/foo") (\e -> putStrLn $ show $ map (flip ($) e) errors) errors :: [(IOError -> Bool)] errors = [isDoesNotExistError, isIllegalOperation, isPermissionError, isAlreadyExistsError] both GHC and NHC give [True,False,False,False] (I don't seem to have a hugs Directory.hs) while the library report only allows isIllegalOperation, isPermissionError and isAlreadyExistsError. I haven't looked for other cases of this. (this is under Linux, don't know if it would behave differently under other OSes).
