Comment(by judahj):
That looks like it would be fine; InputT is always run on top of a MonadIO
instance, so using a lazy `StateT` monad wouldn't make much sense anyway.
The latest release of haskeline (0.6.2.2) uses a continuation-based
implementation of StateT; can you verify whether that also fixes the
problem?
Note that there were several other nontrivial internal changes between
haskeline-0.6.2.1 (which was released with 6.12.[1,2]) and 0.6.2.2; so I'm
not sure how suitable the latter is for the ghc-6.12.3 release.
