hmm I would have thought that String and PackedString should behave
identical, apart from the 'packedness'. Still there could be some subtle
semantic difference ...


Yeah, a several of the five failures were caused by running out of memory.
Now, I thought String vs. PackedString shouldn't be that much of a
difference anymore?  Are there strictness differences between the two that
could be causing the String version to build up huge thunks?  Maybe I'll be
a wench and change it to ByteString.Char8 and see what happens.
