[Haskell-cafe] A GHC error message puzzle

The file "error_puzzle.hs" begins like this:
main = do
inp <- readFile "input"
writeFile "output" $ process inp
process :: String -> String
When compiled with GHC 6.12.3 and run, it
gives the following result:
$ ./error_puzzle
error_puzzle: output: hClose: illegal operation (handle is finalized)
What is the cause of the error? Give a definition
for process and an input file that reproduce this
result. No "unsafe" functions like unsafePerformIO
are allowed.
Have fun!
