Hugs 1.4, The Nottingham and Yale Haskell User's System. Version 970719.
The input parser can't cope with long literate lists. With 337000 free
heap cells, the parser cannot read a list of 795 1's of type Int or
Integer, *sometimes* of type Double. Long lists of Bool or () are Ok.
Doesn't seem like much, but it might point to something ugly.

What's even stranger (to a layman, that is ;-) is that sometimes it
only works the 3rd time!
