Fixed.  However, you should be aware that the number of bytes reported
by :set +s is not very accurate (please don't use it if accurate
measurements are required).

I believe I have fixed this message.  However, what you are trying to do
may still not work, because the module Root is present both in the
current directory and in a package.  GHC might try to recompile it from
the current directory.
