The following three-liner creates a stack overflow (on my machine, MacOS), and
I'm a bit puzzled as to why:
import System.Random
main = do
mapM (const (getStdRandom (randomR (0, 5::Int [0..1000]
botanix:~ stolz$ ./a.out
Stack space overflow: current size 8388608 bytes.

Blimey, I didn't notice that Krzysztof came to the same conclusion a bit
