I don't recall.

I'm setting this as a "not our bug", since it looks like it can only be a ghc
bug to me.

I'm marking this as "wont-fix". Besides being "not-our-bug", we don't know the
version of the GHC compiler that had the bug, and there's a decent chance the
issue was fixed in a new GHC release, and no one else has commented on this
ticket in a year and a half. 

Please re-open if the issue is present with GHC 6.8.
