Comment:

 Good bug.  As the user manual says, you can't put deriving clauses in hs-
 boot files.  I've made GHC check properly for this now.

   * Fix Trac #2449

   Deriving isn't allowed in hs-boot files (says the user manual)
   This patch checks properly instead of crashing!
 }}}

 IAN: I'm not sure how to add a test case whose source file is a `hs-boot`
 file.  Could you do so please? The one above will do fine.  Thanks. Then
 close.

 Simon
