http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/bugs.html Third bullet in secion 12.2.1. I gather that GHC HQ has decided that the problem is pathological enough to sweep under the rug. I can't say I blame them. Really, the only reason to construct custom fixpoint combinators is to show that it can be done :-) Using the built-in facilities for recursion is far easier and almost certainly results in better code. > Stefan _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
