Ok, thanks.  I will upgrade now, and you may ignore the rest of this
e-mail.

I personally would still fix it, but you are probably going to say
that whoever doesn't want to go through the pain of upgrading to a ghc
>=6.4.1 can as well be told to go and use the binaries. Good point,
too.

So I guess it boils down to a trade-off between the work it takes to
accept the work-around patch and the work it takes to make all those
n00bs shut up and fix the problem themselves.  :-)

Let me know if this makes you want to include the patch after all.

cheers,
Matthias
