I've noticed a discrepancy in by version of Hugs with experimental Unicode 
support enabled, based on the 20040109 codebase.  It's exemplified by this:

[[
Main> '\x10ffff'
'\1114111'
Main> maxBound::Char
'\255'
Main>
]]

It appears that this value is hardcoded in Hugs/Prelude.hs, rather than 
obtained from the runtime environment in some way.
