problems using ghc-6.6.1 (due to fgl-5.4.1)

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

Aha!  So the problem is a library change rather than a compiler change.  That's a relief.

| This problem is gone when I install and use fgl-5.3 (where "hiding
| (indices)" needs to be deleted in Data.Graph.Inductive.Monad.IOArray).

| In fgl-5.3 the functions fst4 and fth4 have been used instead. A cyclic
| edge (an edge from and to the very same node) was only returned as
| ingoing edge and not as outgoing one. (a design decision documented
| elsewhere).
|
| I think, the change in fgl-5.4.1 now returns a cyclic edge also as
| outgoing edge (and possibly twice as ingoing one).
|
| Our application heavily uses in- and outgoing edges that may be cyclic.

| P.S. ghc-6.6.1/libraries/fgl/Setup.hs does not compile with ghc-6.6.1
