This is a nice one.  If you change it in a sublte way:

+++ Pigeon.hi
 pigeon n t = 
-  do a<-at 1
+  do a<-at
      orBDD t a a
-  where at i = varBDD t 0
+  where at = varBDD t 0

it compiles, but GHC emits:

zonkIdOcc:  FunDep_aMr
zonkIdOcc:  FunDep_aMr


This leads to Imperative.hi, in which you are using Functional
Dependencies, obviously.  While I don't know jack about them, I
remember them causing some glitches in GHC (which might already be
solved in CVS).  However, I edited the FD away in Imperative.hi and
Pigeon.hs compiled (even your original version).

+++ Imperative.hi
-1 class {PrelBase.Monad m}  => Imperative s m :: (* -> *) | m -> s where {st :: 
__forall [a] => PrelST.ST s a -> m a} ;
+1 class {PrelBase.Monad m}  => Imperative s m :: (* -> *) where {st :: __forall [a] 
+=> PrelST.ST s a -> m a} ;

yes. <fptools>/ghc/compiler/basicTypes/Var.lhs

>    What's the behaviour that is wrong, in my opinion? Well, firstly (and

internal compiler error =)  Maybe someone should mark them in a more
obvious way...

Want to beat SMV/BMC?  =)
