If you're calling a Haskell library from C, the problem might be that you 
forgot hs_add_root(), or that your hs_add_root() isn't pointing to the 
right module (it should point to the module that transitively imports all 
the other modules in your library).  You can use multiple hs_add_root() 
calls if necessary.

Cheers,
