| Jeepers! ReduceContext:
|         `AttributeRepresentation2.HasCodedValue{-r8d-} 
| value2{-aEu-} {-zddHasCodedValue{-aEt-}-}' arising from use 
| of `Main.testValue{-r1-}' at TestAttributeRepresentation2.hs:8
|         `AttributeRepresentation2.HasCodedValue{-r8d-} 
| value2{-aEs-} {-zddHasCodedValue{-aEn-}-}' arising from use 
| of `Main.testValue{-r1-}' at TestAttributeRepresentation2.hs:8
|         `AttributeRepresentation2.HasCodedValue{-r8d-}

| of `Main.testValue{-r1-}' at TestAttributeRepresentation2.hs:8
| 
| and so on . . .
| 
| This is extremely odd, because AttributeRepresentation2 has 
| no import list, and if I add the contents of the second file 
| to the first it works fine.
| 
| When do I expect my 8 cheques for $2.56 for bug-finding in 
| ghc5.00?  (Probably just after Microsoft goes into liquidation . . )
