 Replying to [comment:3 simonpj]:
 > Is it possible to try with HEAD?  It has the new inlining story, which
 has changed (yet again) the way in which instances are treated.  If it's
 different it'd be helpful to know.

 I've looked under http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/current/dist/
 The linux-distros do not work for me (missing libtinfo). The newest src-
 bundle is from 20100108.
