I think the best answer to give here is that the entries count is not at all reliable. Please feel free to file a bug, we'll get around to it next time I have the profiling system paged in ;-) Cheers, SImon _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
