Looks like a ghc problem (with 4.04, at least) - Cc'ing the
ghc-bugs list in case anyone there wants to track down why
(nfib 20) crashes when called via 'foreign export' (the
program in question can be found in hdirect/examples/server/.)
The base case in the defn of nfib used in that sample is wrong,
btw :)
