Comment:

 This no longer crashes:

 {{{
 *Test.Test2> :b Test2
 module main:Test2 is not loaded
 }}}

 The problem here is that the file {{{Test2.hs}}} contains the wrong module
 name.  GHC is confused: you asked to browse a module called Test2, and it
 found a file that should contain it, but it knows that the current session
 does not contain a module called {{{Test2}}} so it refuses to browse it.

 The error message is slightly cryptic but I don't see an easy way to
 improve it.
