This simple test case fails:

   module Main where
   import qualified Data.ByteString.Lazy.Char8 as B
   main = do
       print =<< B.readFile "xxx"
       B.writeFile "xxx" =<< B.readFile "test.hs"

If you replace B.readFile with readFile and B.writeFile with writeFile
it works properly.  ByteString bug?
