Folks,
my code has unwillingly been forced to read a large string generated
by show. This turned out to be a robustness test because the effect is
a stack overflow (with Hugs as well as with GHC) and, of course, this
error happened in a CGI script.
If you want to try the effect yourself, just t
Hi all,
I'm sending this to the whole list because maybe there are others who are
doing the same thing as me, and so it would be useful to share some
effort.

the prelude.

The source and rpm files are available from:
