Can't really see anything obviously bogus about the following:

  % cat Foo.chs
  module Foo where

  #include "foo.h"

  fooOne i = {# call foo1 #} i

  % cat Foo.hs
  -- GENERATED by C->Haskell Compiler, version 0.14.5 Travelling Lightly, 12 Dec 2005 (Haskell)
  -- Edit the ORIGNAL .chs file instead!


  {-# LINE 1 "src/Foo.chs" #-}module Foo where


  fooOne i = foo1 i


  foreign import ccall safe "src/Foo.h foo1"
    foo1 :: (CInt -> (IO CInt))

Or am I missing something?
