Hello L.,

length mates_str `seq` return ()
it's the same. i recommend you to use:
return $! tail mates_str
$! defined as
f$!x = x `seq` f x
'tail' should be slightly faster than 'len'

But you need to evaluate the result of readFile all the way to the end--you
need to use a function that traverses the entire file contents. Otherwise
the file will be left open to read the bit you haven't traversed. Hence
length rather than tail.
