It works (calling the same function) from GHCi, but breaks when
compiled.  Also when compiling with -O0.

I'm probably doing something wrong, but I can't for the life of me work
out what it might be.  I've surrounded the offending newArray with print
statements, so I can't see how it could be something else.

Happens with GHC 6.12.1 and 7.0.2.

6.12.1, array-0.3.0.0, stm-2.1.1.2
7.0.2,  array-0.3.0.2, stm-2.2.0.1
