 The bug can be reproduced but it does take some setup. Here's the error
 report in case it's familiar:

 The bug is a GUI binding. Reproducing is reliable but unfortunately takes
 some setup. To reproduce:

 {{{
 # Install the FLTK GUI toolkit from source.
 > wget http://fltk.org/pub/fltk/1.3.4/fltk-1.3.4-1-source.tar.gz
 > tar -zxf fltk-1.3.4-1-source.tar.gz
 > cd fltk-1.3.4-1
 > ./configure --enable-gl --enable-shared --enable-localjpeg --enable-
 localzlib --enable-localpng
 > make
 > sudo make install
 > fltk-config --version
   1.3.4-1

 # Install the bindings from source
 > git clone -b 8.2.1-rc2 https://github.com/deech/fltkhs
 > cd fltkhs
 > cabal install

 # Install the package causing the bug from source
 > git clone -b 8.2.1-rc2 https://github.com/deech/fltkhs-fluid-demos
 > cd fltkhs-fluid-demos
 > cabal install
 }}}
