Given the following:
 {{{
 class C a where
         f :: a -> a

 instance (Eq a, C a) => C a

 test = f True
 }}}

 {{{
 ERROR "Silly.hs" -
 *** The type checker has reached the cutoff limit while trying to
 *** determine whether:
 ***     Eq Bool
 *** can be deduced from:
 ***     ()
 *** This may indicate that the problem is undecidable.  However,
 *** you may still try to increase the cutoff limit using the -c
 *** option and then try again.  (The current setting is -c40)
 }}}
 when in fact it is trying to solve `C Bool`.
