Hm, and 'bounds' is simply gone?  Hope that doesn't bite in an
unexpected way.

So it seems.  I just tried it with GHC 6.6 and there still is no leak
and no stack overflow.  And frankly, I can't even see where too much
lazyness could creep into this code.  Everything is sequenced by IO, the
array is unboxed, there's hardly any room for an unexpected thunk to
hide in.
