On x86 I get:

 {{{
 Prelude> reverse $ take 10 $ reverse $ show $ sum [ x ^ x | x <- [1..1000]
 ]
 "9110846700"
 }}}

 which is correct, but on amd64/Linux I get:

 {{{
 Prelude> reverse $ take 10 $ reverse $ show $ sum [ x ^ x | x <- [1..1000]
 ]
 "0612504812"
 }}}

 Both ghci's above are 6.4.1, but I also see it with the HEAD (a few days
 old).

 Seen on Debian, Gentoo and rpath distributions.


 Thanks
 Ian
