Hi... I just installed Hugs98-Sep1999 on a Linux box:

Linux sphere.cl.cam.ac.uk 2.2.2 #1 SMP Wed Feb 24 08:27:51 GMT 1999 
i686 unknown

Typing

:l IO
openFile "thefile" WriteMode >>= \ hdl -> hPutStrLn hdl "hi" >> hClose 
hdl

yields a file "thefile" containing a single newline, but not the text 
"hi".

writeFile "thefile" "hi\n"

behaves as expected.

Any idea what is happening here?
