ghc is not the only compiler to have this problem.
I tried code analagous to this out on the Mercury compiler,
and it turned out that like ghc, the Mercury compiler went into
an infinite loop.
Fortunately the problem was fairly simple, so I've fixed it already.
Thanks for the devious test case, though ;-)
