Actually, no I didn't verify that, in this example. I was thinking about my 
other program in which I used mapM over the characters of the file onto a 
Rand monad. That one definitely read all the characters of the 
file---certain processing routines were called about 30,000 times 
(according to the profiler). This makes sense to me now, because I was 
asking for the state out the other side of the mapM.

Thanks,
