Ahem, what do you mean by `pathalogical examples'? This is my
brandnew DSL for constructing trees ... 

Seriously, I think Hugs does not run into this problem simply
because it does not use System Fomega for intermediate representation.
It's the type arguments that kill GHC. On the other hand, the program
is not that big to justify >1.5GB space.
