It's a bit of a glitch with the Hugs ffi setup that it only works on
an install.  Something about hardwired filenames.

This happened in Sigbjorn's commit to static.c last night -- it blows
up on import IOExts(unsafePerformIO) (or anything else from IOExts)
and affects both old and new library setups.  If you roll static.c
back to 1.88, this should work (though that reinstates an obscure bug
in the module system).
