Re: PackedString.hGetPS produces index exception

Thanks, due to a bug in Data.Array.IO.hGetArray.

Notice that the current implementation of hGetPS doesn't
live up to its billing

-- | Read a 'PackedString' directly from the specified 'Handle'.  This
-- is far more efficient than reading the characters into a 'String'
-- and then using 'packString'.
--

as the implementation does indeed go via a String.
