Summary: lexLitChar broken on ghc-5.04.*

Initial Comment:
We finally tracked down a long-lasting problem 
preventing us from using ghc-5-04.* (we still use ghc-
5.02.3): the implementation of lexLitChar is broken.

Prelude Char> lexLitChar "BUG"
[]
Prelude Char>

A correct implementation (e.g., ghc-5.02.3 or hugs) 
should behave as follows

Char> lexLitChar "BUG"
[("B","UG")]
Char>
