Comment(by michalt):

 I might be missing something but, I don't really see a bug here.
 ```3^112``` is way too big to fit into an ```Int```, so it will overflow.
 On the other hand ```Integer``` is an arbitrary-precision integer and
 should be able to represent this number correctly...

Comment:

 Agreed: Thanks for the report, but, this is just a case of Int overflow,
 not a bug in GHC.
