Simon Marlow and I are both on holiday this week
(and I'm away next week too). Hence lack of response
to GHC5 bug reports, which will probably persist until
at least next week. For type system stuff it'll be the
week after.
Incidentally re the Windows version of GHC5, the hold up was because
the currently distributed Mingwin bundle is broken in a way
that we cannot work around. Reuben recently acquired a
working version, though, so we are un-glued on that front. Quite
how long it will take to get the dynamic linking stuff working
with this new Mingwin build I don't know, but I expect weeks not
months.

| Subject: [ghc5] getDirectoryContents: trouble on Linux/NFS
|
|
| On several Linux machines
| where my home directory is mounted by NFS from a Solaris machine,
| I get the following behaviour both in ghc and ghci:
|
| Directory.getDirectoryContents will throw an error on any directory in
| "NFS-space", so even *calling* ghc or ghci causes problems:
| ghc won't compile anything because it can't find some header files
| (they are there) and ghci complains on starting. ghci will fail in the
| test case I tried, too.

| Prelude> Directory.getDirectoryContents "/home/stolz" >>= print
| *** Exception: invalid argument
| Action: getDirectoryContents
| Reason: Invalid argument
|
| However, calling getDirectoryContents on a local file system
| like "/usr"
| works fine.
|
| ghc[i] was built from source. The Solaris binary provided on the GHC-
| download page works fine. I'll investigate FreeBSD as soon as
| I get home.
| Feel free to ask for more details regarding machine setup/compilation.
