Hi Rob,

OK, it looks like cabal has gone slightly broken again. :-(

Here's the test data:

	OS X 10.4.8/ppc
	PowerBook G4, 1.5 GHz, 1 GB ram
	ghc-6.6, cabal 1.1.6 as distributed with ghc-6.6, built using macports
	
test output:

Welcome to Darwin!
crossroads-able> cd ~/Desktop/edison-1.2.0.1-source/test/
crossroads-able> ./dist/build/testSuite/testSuite
Cases: 1728  Tried: 1728  Errors: 0  Failures: 0
crossroads-able>


Everything looks good but for the package registration.

I should add that I find the Edison package wonderfully easy
to work with.  It has really helped me out while writing simulation
of the custom communication system for a customer.  Many thanks
to you, Rob, and Chris Okasaki for this fine software!

Best Wishes,
Greg
