 Hi,

 a few days ago I wrote a program which handles my own integers. Then I
 check my own implementation against the normal Int implementation in Hugs.
 Thereby I wonder about inequality of Ints which are definitely equal.

 This is a test program I wrote after I recognized that hugs
 has probably a bug in the inequality check of Ints.


   data MInt = Zero | Succ MInt | Pred MInt deriving Show

   tn :: Int -> MInt
   tn x | x<0 = Pred (tn (x+1))
   tn 0     =  Zero
   tn (n+1) = Succ (tn n)

   ti :: MInt -> Int
   ti Zero = 0
   ti (Succ x) = 1+(ti x)
   ti (Pred x) = (ti x) -1

   testi :: (MInt -> MInt -> MInt) -> (Int -> Int -> Int) -> Int -> Int ->
 Bool
   testi f g x y = (ti (f (tn x) (tn y))) /= (g x y)

   myMul x y = tn ((ti x) * (ti y))

   test = [(x,y,ti (myMul (tn x) (tn y)),x * y)|
             x<-[-100..100],
             y<-([-100..(-1)]++[1..100]),(testi myMul (*)  x y) ]

 the list "test" should be empty in any case
 but unfortunately hugs returns this (copy of the console):

 I have checked this program with Hugs on different plattforms:
 Gentoo Linux x86 64-Bit and Suse Linux 32-Bit. On both plattforms
 the same bug occurs with different Ints for each run (i.e. the list
 contains different tuples). I have also checked my program with
 other Haskell implementations and there it returns an empty list
 as expected.

 Best regards,

 P.S.: We have tested Sep2006 with similar results:
