Hmm.. yeah, that means it thinks the 'containers' library is out of date
for some reason, which it shouldn't as libraries don't go out of date.

How did you install? via a tarball or rpm? it is possible I accidentally
included a stale '.hl' in a distribution. Or do you have any files like
Data/Map.hs sitting around that would conflict with something inside of
the hl file? that also could possibly make jhc think the library was
stale.
