Stack overflow on words (repeat 'a')

[Neil Mitchell]

Hi

With the expression: words (repeat 'a')

Using WinHugs Sep 06 I get a stack overflow.

Using Hugs Linux May 06 I get a GC fails to reclaim sufficient space error

Using GHC and Yhc both of these succeed.

I have a similar issue in one of my functions which is showing the
same behaviour.

Thanks

Neil
