Looks like a (fixed) gcc bug:

igloo at vore:/scratch/igloo/space$ rm *.o *.hi foo; ghc -Wall -O foo.hs -o foo && ./foo
[True,False,True,True,False,True]
igloo at vore:/scratch/igloo/space$ rm *.o *.hi foo; ghc -Wall -O foo.hs -o foo -pgmc /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 && ./foo
[True,True,True,True,True,True]
igloo at vore:/scratch/igloo/space$ gcc --version

I'll get the default gcc upgraded and try the build again.


Thanks
