Already done (only using malloc to avoid hardwired limits).
Grab the latest snapshot from /pub/haskell/hugs/980430 and give it a shot.
The new preprocessor code hasn't been tested very hard.
[This and other recent bugfixes was mentioned on the hugs bugs web page
- but those all vanished when we lost a hard disk last week so you
probably didn't have a chance to see it :-)
Does two hard disk crashes in a row seem like a lot to you? Does to me.]
