Subject: bug in Hugs 1.4 and 1.3c arithmetic (Number library)
In Hugs 1.4 (January 1998), if I type the following commands:
:l Number
(minBound::Number) * -1
hugs dies with the error message "Unexpected signal".
A similar thing happens with Hugs 1.3c, except that the error is
"Floating exception".
Random info:
uname -a:
Linux gemini 2.0.29 #4 Thu Oct 23 00:34:55 PDT 1997 i686 unknown
gcc -v:
gcc version 2.7.2.3
I compiled the hugs-1.3c myself; the hugs 1.4 was the Debian packaged
version:
ii hugs 1.4.199801-1 A Haskell interpreter
