Ah! You were right - I was confused as to the purpose of readDec and
friends. I changed it to the following, which works:
readIncompatList :: IO [(Player, Player)]
readIncompatList =
readIL' []
where readIL' ans =
do ln <- getLine
let [a, b] = map read (words ln)
if a == 0 && b == 0 then return ans else readIL'
((a,b):ans)
Thanks!

(It occurs to me ... I love Haskell: that "let [a, b] = map read (words
ln)" would be so much longer in C ... :-) )
