 I am filing this because ghc-6.8.2 told me to; I'm not competent to
 distinguish bugs from my beginner's errors.
 I had entered
 sum [2, ....]
 where the .... were the primes up to about 80,000.  I had calculated these
 separately and pasted the bracketed expression into the mac Terminal after
 the word sum.
 The corresponding 'module' with the one definition ( " e = sum
 [2,...etc...] " compiled with a brief hesitation and of course ran more or
 less instantly.
