[Haskell-beginners] finding the cause of an error (here head: empty list)

Hey,
I have written a program which, when executed produces:
Main: Prelude.head: empty list
Now, I can go through my program and replace all "head" with
(\a -> trace ("<line-nr>: length=" ++ (show (length a))) a)
Actually, I already did that, and by this I found the error.
But I wonder if there would have been an easier way?
Has anyone any debug advice how I could find out which call to "head"
causes this without so much typing work?
Thanks!
Nathan
