GHC 7.0.1 (or very strange dimensional-0.8.0.1) bug

[Pavel Perikov]

in ghci:

Prelude> import Numeric.Units.Dimensional.Prelude as D
Prelude Numeric.Units.Dimensional.Prelude> D.sqrt $ let s = 9 *~ (meter D.* meter) in s
3.0 m
Prelude Numeric.Units.Dimensional.Prelude> D.sqrt $ 9 *~ (meter D.* meter)
ghci hangs.

complied and optimized code detects <<loop>> and let-trick from the above does not help.

Here's the complete ghci -v session which contains all package versions


ghci -v
