[Haskell-cafe] fun fact: value of truncate -Infinity depends on optimisation level

Just for general amusement -
I was debugging very strange behaviour
in a straightforward deterministic program,
where the output value seemed to depend on ghc's optimization level.
Well, it turned out that I (accidentally) computed
truncate (logBase 2 0) :: Int,
and that's 0 with -O0, but -9223372036854775808 with -O2.
