> In ghc-5.00.1, "seq (2/0) 3" gives 3. Should it not give error. Hugs does.
I suspect that Hugs is wrong and ghc is right in this case.
Certainly nhc98 and hbc agree with ghc's behaviour.
seq x y means evaluate x to whnf and throw away the result, returning
y instead. It shouldn't matter whether the result of x is bottom.
