[Haskell-cafe] [Newbie] Problem with Data.Map (or something else ?)

Dears Haskellers,
As an Haskell newbie, I'm learning Haskell by trying to resolve Euler
Project problems (http://projecteuler.net/ ). I'm hanging on problem
14 (Collatz problem).
I've written the following program... Which does not end in a reasonable time :(
My algorithm seems ok to me but I see that memory consumption is gigantic...
Is this a memory problem with Data.Map ? Or an infinite loop ? (Where ?)
In a more general way, how can I troubleshoot these kind of problem ?
Here's the code :
import qualified Data.List as List
import qualified Data.Map as Map
f n | even n = n `div` 2
| otherwise = 3 * n + 1
chain m n =
let chain' cn cm | Map.member cn m = Map.map (+ (m Map.! cn)) cm
| otherwise = chain' (f cn) $! Map.insert cn 1
(Map.map (+1) cm)
in chain' n Map.empty
chains n = List.foldl' (\m i -> Map.union m (chain m i))
(Map.singleton 1 1) [2..n]
maxCollatz c1@(_,l1) c2@(_,l2) | l1 < l2 = c2
| otherwise = c1
maxChain = List.foldl' maxCollatz (0,0) . Map.toList . chains
main =
let n = 1000000
in putStrLn $ show $ maxChain n
Hope someone can help me, I really don't see what is th problem...
Best regards,
Bruno.
