Not entirely innocent: demand for x also causes evaluation of the second
pair, which depends on x: an infinite loop.  The correct version is

	main = print (let (x,~(q,_)) = (1,divMod x x) in q)

Unfortunately, it's a known bug that some infinite loops cause Hugs to
overrun the C stack, crashing the program.  (This is caught under Windows,
but not Unix.)
