Comment(by batterseapower):
I think a single minus sign is the expected result, and it is what I get
with GHC and GHCi (near HEAD) on OS X 10.6. Note that:
showSignedFloat showFloat 0 (-1.0) ""
Calls showFloat with the last argument '''negated''' after outputting a
minus sign, so showFloat itself will not get a chance to produce an extra
minus sign. (The relevant line of showSignedFloat is Float.lhs:1016) The
question seems to be why that negation is not happening on your machine.
This seems unlikely, but is it possible that your GHCi is still somehow
finding the version of the libraries that you edited before, and that
version accidentally removed the negation?
