Comment:

 I am running GHC on a windows XP platform.  The bug i did report has
 nothing to do with java.

 Yes I found the problem while running a java program, but then i did try
 to execute
 {{{
    ghc -e "reverse \"2<3\""
 }}}
 directly on a command line, and i get a message like "the system can't
 find the specified file".

 If try
 {{{
    ghc -e "reverse \"2^3\""
 }}}
 then i get "32"

 If you think its's worth i can rewrite these examples as a new bug.
