[Haskell-cafe] Why this exception occurs ?

[L.Guo]

I think it likes a trap. See this.

Data.ByteString.unpack . Data.ByteString.pack $! ([0,17..255] ++ [1,18..256])

Without thinking about for Word8, [1,18..256] is equal to [1,18..0]. Though
I try to use "$!" to let GHC generate the list as Integer. It would not do so.
