Hi,
many thanks for reporting this. It's a bug, the above expression is
expanded into
(fromInteger 2147483648)::Word32
but the Num.fromInteger method for Word32 goes from Integer to Word32
via Int, which is not the Right Thing to do. Fixed in the next
release.

Stick with maxBound or work around it with lit-lits, i.e.,
(``2147483648'' :: Word32)
(if you're not using -O, add -fno-prune-tydecls to the command line
when compiling this.)
--Sigbjorn
