-fno-monomorphism-restriction

This isn't a bug.  See Section 4.5.5 of the Haskell Report,
	http://haskell.org/onlinereport/decls.html
in the second bullet under the sub-heading "Motivation".  Your (bi, las)
binding is essentially the same as the (n,s) binding in that bullet.

|      Ambiguous type variable `a' in the top-level constraint:
|        `ATermConvertibleSML a'
| 	arising from use of `las' at
| /home/maeder/haskell/examples/NoMonoRestr.hs:29

| (comenting out the initial "OPTIONS" line, will make it go through)
