The web pages for the module Exception at http://www.haskel.org/ghc/
show a wrong type for catch:

catch      :: IO a -> (Exception -> IO a) -> IO a instead of

catch,     -- :: (Exception -> Maybe b) -> a    -> (b -> IO a) -> IO a

Furthermore, the page mentions catchJust, which doesn't exist in
lang/Exception.lhs.
The file version is $Id: Exception.lhs,v 1.11.2.1 2000/06/19 09:41:11. 

There's no hint at that you should be using IO.catch anyway,either ;).
