Thanks, I've finally tracked this down. The problem is that when you
evaluate something like
    f ^ 10
in 6.8.2 the result was
    res
while in 6.8.3 it is
    1 * res

I think this is actually a bug in your class instances, but I will try
to look at http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2306 before 6.8.3
which should, as a side-effect, make it work again.


Thanks
Ian
