Summary: Template Haskell panic with class names

Initial Comment:
File Bug.hs:
module Bug where
foo = ''Show

Compile using:
ghc -c -fth Bug.hs

Result:
ghc-6.4.1: panic! (the `impossible' happened, GHC version 6.4.1):
        lookupDeprec GHCziShow.Show{tc 2h}

Please report it as a compiler bug to glasgow-haskell-
bugs at haskell.org,
or http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghc/.

The panic does not happen if the type class or one of its method is 
actually used in the same module.

Good point. I'd fixed this in the HEAD but not the 6.4 branch.
