Stack usage with a state monad

Hi,

I think the problem is in the State Monad itself;
State Monad is lazy to compute its state.

I am not a haskell expert, and there may be better ideas.  But anyhow,
when I use these >>>= and >>> instead of >>= and >>, 
your example runs fine.  I hope it becomes some help.

m >>>= k = State $ \s -> let (a, s') = runState m s
			in	s `seq` runState (k a) s' -- force evaluation of the state

m >>> k = m >>>= \_ -> k
