Comment (by guest):

 I agree with the bug report, it's bitten me a few times, and note that
 using hFlush requires importing System.IO which should not be required in
 these very simple programs.

 main = do { putStr "Enter your name: "; name <- getLine; print $ "hello ++
 name }

 is one the first programs anyone writes in any language and it shouldn't
 require a bunch of web searching to find out what is wrong and how to fix
 it.
