'foo',

2. GHC should report that as a staging error, but wasn't.
3. But even then it should not have crashed. Its should have reported
a linking error when trying to
This code produces True with ghc-5.04.2 and ghc-5.02.3. It works as I

also don't work.
The only time that I've found in my limited expermentation that equality
