Not much better, though: in my experience this particular exception 
leaves ghci in a very peculiar state, and it's usually necessary to quit 
and restart it before it will work again.

Is it coincidence that both Hugs and GHCi have trouble handling 
dependency loops, or is it a very difficult problem that both have given 
up on solving?
