 GHCi version: 7.0.4

 Offending function:

 factorial :: Int -> Int
 factorial 0 = 1
 factorial n = n * factorial (n-1)


 Correct answer is displayed (as expected) when type is

 factorial :: Integer -> Integer

 THE BUG IS THE DISPLAY OF A CORRECT-LOOKING INCORRECT ANSWER THAT RESULTED
 FROM (UNREPORTED) OVERFLOW OF Int (but not of Integer)

 ~~ Thank you
