[Haskell-cafe] Crash in Data.ByteString.Lazy.hPut

[Jamie Love]

Ah, of course.

Thanks. I removed the hPut and it runs smoothly.  I had forgotten that 
haskell chooses the types dynamically.

Shouldn't haskell pick up that there is no 'mod' for Word8?  I mean, 
shouldn't I get a nicer error message?
