GHC 6.4 release candidates available [GHCi loads incorrectly]

[Simon David Foster]

And one other niggle, if you try and load a module which doesn't exist
with :m, it doesn't load it, but it still appends it to command-line;

Prelude> :m + My.Module

Top level:
    Failed to load interface for `My.Module':
        Could not find module `My.Module':
          use -v to see a list of the files searched for
Prelude My.Module>

-Si.
