Got it! Very obscure but easily fixed.
Amazingly, the WriteMutVar prim-op wasn't identified as
having side effects. As a result GHC felt free to omit a
write whose (state) result wasn't used. This meant that
a write followed immediately by raising an exception was
simply discarded! And that
This one is my fault.
I was trying to reduce the number of module dependencies that are
recorded in a .hi file. There isn't much point in recording which
version of which functions from the prelude you are using. So I needed
to distinguish a "library" module from a "user" module. I did this

Hi,
my patch for the use of `popen' is just an ad-hoc solution (aka hack)
that might be useful for people trying to do some shell-scripting in
hugs, before anything more fundamental becomes available. The security

It WOULD be nice if you could match on functions and not just
constructors. But I presume that the constructor/function dichotomy
in Haskell is what allows it to be strongly typed? For example, in the
untyped 'language' Mathematica employs, pattern matching is
allowed on both constructors

It would probably be more effective if you could list for us

Unless, of course, that list is empty.
