Curious. The field 'args' is lexically incorrect, it should be
args=(-1)
but my version of hat-trans (built with ghc-5.02.2) generates
it correctly. In response to your report, I have just attempted
to rebuild hat with ghc-5.04, and sure enough, it fails with the
same error.
Thus, it would appear that the program (hat-trans) compiled with 5.04
exhibits different behaviour from the same program compiled with 5.02.2.
So I would guess that this is a bug in GHC, not in Hat.
