The fix for exception handling and friends is to add a dependency on
base-3,

    http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Upgrading_packages#Adding_base-3_constraints

If you build your app with cabal-install, it will work this out for you,
otherwise, you need to add something like

     --constraint="base<4"

if you use runhaskell, or

    --package base-3.0.3.0

if you use ghc --make.
